Answer 2

The cost would be 22.75

Explanation:

To find the cost of each topping, we simply take the excess cost and divide it by the number of toppings. To find the excess cost, take the new cost and subtract the original cost.

17.50 - 14.00 = 3.50

Now divide that by the amount of toppings.

3.50/2 = 1.75

Now we can multiply the new number of toppings by that amount and add the cost of the pizza.

5(1.75) + 14.00

8.75 + 14.00

22.75
