A. X+3/19.99 + y+4/14.99

B. 3x/19.99 + 4y/14.99

C. 19.99(x+3) + 14.99(y+4)

D. (3x)19.99+(4y)14.99

Answer 1

D. (3x)19.99+(4y)14.99

Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is letter “d” because you have to realize that she went back and bought 3 more t-shirts that would make the equation 3x and she bought 4 pairs of shorts which would be 4y and then you have to multiply 3x(19.99) + 4y(14.99)
