Answer 1

The right answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Pizzas made by Paul on first day = 12

Pizzas made each day after that = 6

Let,

p represent the number of pizzas made after first day.

Total pizzas = 6p + 12

Number of days = 8 because first day 12 pizzas are made

Total pizzas = $6(8)+12=60$

Pizzas made by Cindy on first day = 16

Pizzas made each day after that = 4

Total pizzas = 4p + 16

Total pizzas = $4(8)+16=48$

Paul has made more pizzas after 9 days. He has made 60 pizzas.

The right answer is Option C.
