Late response, but in case you still need help - if x is the total number of visitors that day and y is the total number of winners, then

- x and y both have to be non-negative integers (whole numbers 0 or above)
- y cannot be greater than x. The number of winners cannot be greater than the total number of people who visited that day.

Considering these two restrictions in mind, which answer choice correctly describes a viable or non-viable solution?
