Final answer:

After buying a cheese pizza for $14, you have $4.50 left from your $18.50. Each topping costs $0.75, so you can buy 6 extra toppings for $4.50. Since the provided options do not include 6, and considering a possible typo in topping cost, with $4.50, you could buy 3 extra toppings if they cost $1.50 each.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how many extra toppings you can buy with $18.50 if a cheese pizza costs $14 and each extra topping costs $0.75. First, calculate the remaining money after buying a cheese pizza by subtracting the cost of the pizza from the total amount you have. Therefore, $18.50 - $14 = $4.50 is left for extra toppings.

Next, divide the remaining money by the cost of one topping to determine the number of toppings you can afford. So, $4.50 ÷ $0.75 = 6. You can buy 6 extra toppings with the remaining money.

However, since the options provided do not include 6, and the keyword mentions that a price increase due to costs will lead to a price raise of $0.75, it might be a typo and the topping could cost $1.50 each. If that's the case, with $4.50, you could buy 3 extra toppings ($4.50 ÷ $1.50 = 3), which would correspond to the option B.
