Answer:The answer is 24Step-by-step explanation:If the restaurant fee is $7.5 and the price is $14 per pizza, she has $52.5 to spend on the pizzas after we deduct the restaurant fee.That means she can get 52.5 / 14 = 3.75 pizzas.Since she can't get .75 pizza, we can assume that she will order 3, which in total makes 8 x 3 = 24 slices.If she can however order 3.75 pizzas, .75 x 8 makes 6 slices so it is a total of 30 slices for 3.75 pizzas.I hope this answer helps....
