The correct option is $2.50.

Explanation:

This can be determined by calculating the change in total cost of lunch using the data given in the question as follows:

Slice of pizza Total cost of lunch ($) Change in total cost of lunch ($)

0 7.5 -

1 10 2.5

2 12.5 2.5

3 15 2.5

4 17.5 2.5

5 20 2.5

6 22.5 2.5

7 25 2.5

8 27.5 2.5

Since the change in total cost of lunch in table abov is constant at $2.50, this implies that for each additional slice of pizza that is purchased, the total cost of lunch increases by $2.50.

Therefore, the correct option is $2.50.
