Mr. Martin's math test, which is worth 100 points, has 35 problems. Each problem is worth either 5 points or 2
points.
Let x = the number of questions worth 5 points.
Let y = the number of questions worth 2 points.

a) at most means it can cost $12 or less

so the inequality sign would be ≤

you would then need to multiply the number of toppings by the 0.35 for each one and add it to the cost of the cheese pizza.

the equation would be 9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

b) using the above equation:

9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

subtract 9.99 from each side:

0.35x ≤2.01

divide both sides by 0.35:

x ≤ 2.01 / 0.35

x ≤5.74

at most you could have 5 toppings.

the 5 topping pizza would cost: 0.35 x 5 = 1.75 + 9.99 = $11.74

the answer is 15 to your question
