On a coordinate plane, a graph titled Strawberry Cupcake Recipe has Batches on the x-axis and cups of strawberries on the y-axis. Point A is at (1, 1.5), point B is (2, 3), point C is (3, 4.5), point D is (4, 6).

If she does not want any leftovers, which point should Enjoli use to determine the amount of strawberries she will need to make her cupcakes?
A

She needs 45 ÷ 15 = 3 batches. Point C is at (3, 4.5), so she'll need 4.5 cups of strawberries.
