I believe the answer is to convert the 150 mm2 to cm2 by 150 / 10 = 15 cm2 then 15 * 10pence p/cm2 is 150 pence cost of the ingredient to cover the Pizza . Is this correct?

A pizza place has 33 toppings on the menu. How many different combinations of toppings does a customer have available? Order doesn’t matter (a pizza with sausage and mushrooms is the same as a pizza with mushrooms and sausage) and no repetitions (can’t have extra pepperoni). Keep in mind, you can have anything from 33 different one-topping pizzas to only one 33-topping pizza.

What is the maximum number of pieces you could cut a pizza into with 5 straight cuts? You do not have to cut through the centre of the pizza.

Hint – make one cut, then two and so on and use inductive reasoning to make a conjecture.
