Answer 2

Answer: $5.75

Explanation:

With the given information, we can write an expression.

3.25+0.5x

The 3.25 is the flat fee, therefore, it is a constant. The 0.5x is $0.50 cost and the x is the amount of toppings. Now that we have our expression, we can plug in 5 toppings to see the total cost.

3.25+0.5(5)

3.25+2.5

3.25+2.5=5.75

The 5 topping pizza costs $5.75.
