Answer: She ordered 4 toppings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total cost of pizza  = $ 12.90

Cost of pizza =$7.50

Price per topping = $1.35

Let x = Number of toppings,

Total cost of pizza = (Cost of pizza) + (price per topping) × (Number of topping)  

[tex]12.90= 7.50+1.35x\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.35x=12.90-7.50\\\\\Rightarrow\ 1.35x=5.4\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{5.4}{1.35}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{540}{135}=4[/tex]

hence, she ordered 4 toppings.
