Answer:

It can never be a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the product of the two prime numbers are divisible by those two numbers, therefore going against the definition of a prime number. For example 3 and 5 are prime numbers and their product is 15. 15 can be divided by 3 and 5 so it is not a prime number.

Hope this helps.

Mashutka [201]

The toppings would still cost 0.50 each (since it is just toppings)

The large pizza costs $18 if you do not have any toppings
The medium costs half of the large

18/2 = 9

The medium costs $9 without any toppings, so your new equation will be:

c = 0.50t + 9
