Hi there.
Using process of elimination & some logic, I believe the answer is:
C) starting size of the pumpkin
I hope this turned out right!

Answer:
A = πr² ← r is the radius and r = \frac{1}{2} d ← d is the diameter
Hence
π (\frac{1}{2} d)² = A, that is
\frac{d^2\pi }{4} = A ( multiply both sides by 4 )
d²π = 4A ( divide both sides by π )
d² = \frac{4A}{\pi } ( take the square root of both sides )
d = \sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi } }
19/25 = x/100
Cross multiply:
1,900
Divide 1,900 by 25
Equals 76
Subtract 76 from 100
Answer: 24% change
I hope this helps!
I can say that Jared and Nicole are correct because they manipulated the equation right. They can either write the equation as y as a function of x then substitute it to the y in the other equation and solve for x. They can also write the equation as x as a function of y and substitute it to x in the other equation and solve for y. For both solution, they will still obtain the same answers.
