The triangular region shows the number of possible pepperoni slices, x, and the number of possible cheese slices, y, a pizza maker can use on a special pizza.

Which combination of pepperoni and cheese can the pizza maker use?


A. 38 pepperoni slices and 30 cheese slices

B. 33 pepperoni slices and 15 cheese slices

C. 25 pepperoni slices and 20 cheese slices

D. 43 pepperoni slices and 25 cheese slices

Answer 1

Each of the options on the list gives you a point on the graph. If the point lies within the shaded region, the pizza maker can use that particular combo. I've plotted each of the associated points in the picture below. As you can see, only one point - the point (43, 25) representing 43 pepperoni slices and 25 cheese slices - falls within the shaded region.
