Harold Mccullough · Answer 1

It would be 4 toppings beacause 7+0.75 (4 toppings) = 10.00 for tonys pizza and 8+0.50 (4 toppings) = 10.00 for marias pizza

Jaylynn Clements · Answer 2

The answer would be 4 because if you take 7 + (.75*4) = 10 and 8 + (.5*4) = 10 so because 10=10 the 4 is correct. For finding these kinds of things sometimes the quicker way to do it is guess and check meaning guess random numbers then check it and revise. Enjoy!=)
