Answer 1

Answer:

Paul. He has made 60 pizzas after 9 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul makes 12 pizzas the first day and 6 pizzas each day after that.

So, after 9 days Paul will make total [12 + (9 - 1)6] = 60 pizzas.

Now, Cindy makes 16 pizzas the first day and 4 pizzas each day after that.

So, after 9 days Cindy will make total [16 + (9 - 1)4] = 48 pizzas.

Therefore, after 9 days Paul will make more pizzas and the number is 60 pizzas. (Answer)
