Leslie is at the store with $60 in her purse. She sees two shirts that she wants that each cost $25. There is also a jacket she wants that costs $55. What best describes the opportunity cost and benefit of buying the shirts?

The two shirts will cost $50 so she can get them pluse something for $10 or less and get 3 things. If she where to buy the jacket she would only have $5 left and can only get 2 things.
