Answer 2

D

Explanation:

The first step is to subtract 29.25 from 17.50

You get 11.75

Then divide 11.75 to 2.35

You get 5.

The reason you do these steps is because,

since you paid 17.50 for the pizza the rest is toppings so...

so you subtract from the total to see how much the toppings were worth in total...

you divide 2.35 from that to show how many toppings there would be
