Remi can order 9 pizzas maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount collected to pay = $120

Cost of each pizza = $12

Fixed delivery charges = $8.00

Let,

x be the number of pizzas.

According to given statement;

Delivery charges + Cost of each pizza*Number of pizzas ≤ Amount collected

[tex]8.00+12x\leq 120\\12x\leq 120-8\\12x\leq 112[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 12

[tex]\frac{12x}{12}\leq \frac{112}{12}\\x\leq 9.33[/tex]

Rounding off to nearest whole number;

x≤9

Remi can order 9 pizzas maximum.
