 ==Solution 1==
-We maximize the number of sandwiches Mike and Ike can buy by finding the lowest multiple of <math>\$4.50</math> that is less than <math>\$30.</math> This number is <math>6.</math>
-Therefore, they can buy <math>6</math> sandwiches for <math>\$4.50\cdot6=\$27.</math> They spend the remaining money on soft drinks, so they buy <math>30-27=3</math> soft drinks.
-Combining the items, Mike and Ike buy <math>6+3=9</math> soft drinks.
-The answer is <math>\boxed{\textbf{(D)  }9}.</math>
