Solution 1

We maximize the number of sandwiches Mike and Ike can buy by finding the lowest multiple of $$4.50$ that is less than $$30.$ This number is $6.$

Therefore, they can buy $6$ sandwiches for $$4.50\cdot6=$27.$ They spend the remaining money on soft drinks, so they buy $30-27=3$ soft drinks.

Combining the items, Mike and Ike buy $6+3=9$ soft drinks.

The answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(D)  }9}.$
