Answer:

  (c)  Both sides of town

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know which area will satisfy the siting criterion of less than 0.01 pizza places per person. That means we need to find that ratio for each area.

__

North Side

  pizza places / person = (32 pizza places) / (15 blocks × 221 people/block)

  = 32/3315 = 0.00965 . . . . pizza places per person

__

South Side

  pizza places / person = (28 pizza places) / (22 blocks × 150 people/block)

  = 28/3300 = 0.00848 . . . . pizza places per person

__

Both sides of town meet the siting criterion.

_____

Additional comment

Both sides of town will maintain the required ratio even after Pretty Pizza adds their store.
