Answer:

Nicholas can order up to 3 toppings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for the tip:

15% of the total cost = 15% × $7.50

Convert percentage into a decimal:

0.15 × 7.50 = 1.125

Variable x = number of toppings

Set up an equation:

7.50 + 1.125 + 1.25x = 13

Combine like terms:

8.625 + 1.25x = 13

1.25x = 4.375

x = 3.5

Since it is impossible to order "half" of a topping (0.5), Nicholas can only order up to 3 toppings.
