Answer:

you can order 4 toppings but if you wanted a specific answer, it would be 5.5

Explanation:

you have 25, subtract 14, you have 11, divide 11 by 2, you get 5.5 but you cant get half so you have 4 if you round it

Answer:

5 toppings

Explanation:

The formula is y=2x+14 with x being the number of toppings and y the total price.

Plug in 25 as y to see how much x would be at that price.

25=2x+14

11=2x

x=5.5

You can't get half of a topping so you would have to round down to 5 toppings.
