7 pepperoni pizzas

Step-by-step explanation:

Where p = # of pepperoni pizzas and m = # of mushroom pizzas

124.50 = 11p + 9.5m

Now you need to guess and check:

Use this equation: (124.5 - 11 * p) / 9.5 and replace p with whole numbers until you get a whole number as the output

I got p=7 and m=5

So she bought 7 pepperoni pizzas
