A large pizza at Palanzio's Pizzeria costs $6.80 plus $0.90 for each topping. The cost of a large cheese pizza at Guido's Pizza is $7.30 plus $0.65 for each topping. How many toppings need to be added to a large cheese pizza from Palanzio's Pizzeria and Guido's Pizza in order for the pizzas to cost the same?

• 6.8 + 0.9t = 7.3 + 0.65t
• 6.8 - 0.9t = 7.3 - 0.65t
• 6.8 + 0.65t = 7.3 + 0.9t
• 6.8 - 0.65t = 7.3 - 0.9t
