Answer:

The accurate selection is option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

On Saturday, the pizzas topped with meat and those topped with vegetables were in a 4:3 ratio.

Let the meat-topped pizzas equal 4x

Let the vegetable-topped pizzas equal 3x

In total, 84 pizzas were produced that Saturday.

4x + 3x = 84

7x = 84

x = $\frac{84}{7}=12$

Pizzas topped with meat = 4x = 4 × 12 = 48

Pizzas topped with vegetables = 3x = 3 × 12 = 36

Thus, 12 pizzas bore vegetable toppings.

Answer:

The right choice is option B.

A total of 36 pizzas had vegetable toppings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pizzas.

According to the details:

On Saturday, the ratio of pizzas with meat to those with vegetables was 4:3.

The ratio for meat-topped pizzas is 4: 3

So;

The quantity of meat-topped pizzas = 4x

and

The quantity of vegetable-topped pizzas = 3x

We also know that the total number of pizzas made that day was 84.

$\text{Total Pizzas} = \text{Number of pizzas topped with meat}+ \text{Number of pizzas topped with vegetables}$

Replacing the values gives us;

$84 = 4x+3x$

Combining similar terms yields;

$84= 7x$

When both sides are divided by 7, we find;

12 = x

The pizzas with vegetable toppings = 3x = 3(12) = 36

Consequently, there were 36 pizzas topped with vegetables.
