We will proceed to verify each case to determine the solution of the problem.

we know that

The solution of the problem must be included in the shaded area of the graph.

Let

x---------> the number of possible ounces of pepperoni slices

y--------> the number of possible ham slices

so

case A. [tex]33[/tex] pepperoni slices and [tex]15[/tex] ham slices

we have the point [tex]A(33,15)[/tex]  

Graph the point A      

see the attached figure

The point [tex]A(33,15)[/tex]  is not solution

Because the point is not included in the shaded area of the graph

case B. [tex]43[/tex] pepperoni slices and [tex]25[/tex] ham slices

we have the point [tex]B(43,25)[/tex]  

Graph the point B

see the attached figure

The point  [tex]B(43,25)[/tex]  is a solution

Because the point is included in the shaded area of the graph

case C. [tex]38[/tex] pepperoni slices and [tex]30[/tex] ham slices

we have the point [tex]C(38,30)[/tex]  

Graph the point C

see the attached figure

The point  [tex]C(38,30)[/tex]    is not solution

Because the point is not included in the shaded area of the graph    

case D. [tex]25[/tex] pepperoni slices and [tex]20[/tex] ham slices

we have the point [tex]D(25,20)[/tex]  

Graph the point D

see the attached figure

The point  [tex]D(25,20)[/tex]  is not solution

Because the point is not included in the shaded area of the graph  

therefore

the answer is

[tex]43[/tex] pepperoni slices and [tex]25[/tex] ham slices
