The triangular region shows the number of possible raisins, x, and number of possible chocolate chips, y, a baker can use in a recipe.

Which combination of raisins and chocolate chips can the baker use?

A. 28 raisins and 20 chocolate chips
B. 33 raisins and 25 chocolate chips
C. 45 raisins and 10 chocolate chips
D. 55 raisins and 12 chocolate chips

Based on the given figure above, the correct answer would be option A. Given the triangular region that shows the number of possible raisins, x, and number of possible chocolate chips, y, a baker can use in a recipe, the combination of raisins and chocolate chips that the baker can use would be 28 raisins and 20 chocolate chips. Hope this answer helps.

we will proceed to verify each of the cases to determine the solution of the problem

we know that

The combination of raisins and chocolate chips that can the baker use, must be inside the triangular region

so

we're graphing each of the cases

Let

x--------> the number of possible raisins

y--------> the number of possible chocolate chips

case A

Let

[tex]A(28,20)[/tex]

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The point [tex]A(28,20)[/tex] is include inside the triangular region

therefore

The case A is a solution

case B

Let

[tex]B(33,25)[/tex]

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The point [tex]B(33,25)[/tex] is not include inside the triangular region

therefore

The case B is not a solution

case C

Let

[tex]C(45,10)[/tex]

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The point [tex]C(45,10)[/tex] is not include inside the triangular region

therefore

The case C is not a solution

case D

Let

[tex]D(55,12)[/tex]

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

The point [tex]D(55,12)[/tex] is not include inside the triangular region

therefore

The case D is not a solution

the answer is the option A

[tex](28,20)[/tex]
