Your teacher allows the class to have a pizza party. The pizza parlor is running a special: The first pizza in an order costs $15.99, the second (in the same order) costs half the price of the first, the third pizza costs half the price of the second, the fourth cost half the price of the third, and so on. If your class can only buy whole pizzas and has exactly $31.74 to spend (excluding tax and tip), what is the greatest number of pizzas that the class can purchase? Explain your reasoning.
