Answer:

34 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ratio of time for which Pepperoni pizza and cheese pizza should be baked is given as:

[tex]P = 3C - 2[/tex]

Where [tex]P[/tex] is the time for which pepperoni pizza should be baked and

[tex]C[/tex] is the time for which Cheese pizza should be baked.

Also, it is given that a small Cheese pizza should be baked for 12 minutes.

In other words, we are given that: [tex]C=12\ min[/tex]

To find:

For how long small pepperoni pizza should be baked ?

In other words,

[tex]P=?[/tex]

Solution:

Let us put the value of [tex]C[/tex] in the equation of the model.

[tex]P = 3C - 2[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P = 3\times 12 - 2\\\Rightarrow P = 36 - 2\\\Rightarrow P = \bold{34\ min}[/tex]

Therefore, a small pepperoni pizza should be baked for 34 minutes.
