One restaurant sells a large cheese pizza for $8.25 and charges $1.25 per topping added. Another place charges $9.00 for a large cheese pizza and $1.00 per additional topping. If you buy a pizza from each place, both with the same number of toppings, how many toppings need to be put on each one for the pizzas to cost the same amount?

Answer:

3

Explanation:

You take 8.25+1.25 and get 9.5. Then you add 9.5 and add it again, until you get a whole number. Then 9+3 is also 12 so, you answer is 3 toppings.
