Given:

The equation that models the amount of calories in the snack is


4c+9f=120

where c is the number of grams of carbohydrates and f is the number of grams of fat.

To find:

The combination of carbohydrates and fat meet the constraint of 120 calories.

Solution:

In option A, 4 grams of carbohydrates and 12 grams of fat.

Put c=4 and f=12 in the given equation.


4(4)+9(12)=16+108=124\\eq 120

In option B, 4 grams of carbohydrates and 21 grams of fat.

Put c=4 and f=21 in the given equation.


4(4)+9(21)=16+189=205\\eq 120

In option C, 3 grams of carbohydrates and 12 grams of fat.

Put c=3 and f=12 in the given equation.


4(3)+9(12)=12+108=120

In option D, 3 grams of carbohydrates and 13 grams of fat.

Put c=3 and f=13 in the given equation.


4(3)+9(13)=12+117=129\\eq 120

Only the combination of 3 grams of carbohydrates and 12 grams of fat meet the constraint of 120 calories.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
