I can't see the graph but let's use logic
hmm, more than 10 cubic feet of topsoil so the first and 2nd options are wrong

let's ee the costs
3rd option
10*1=10
2*12=24
10+24=34 and 34<50, that is fine

4th option
3*10=30
2*12=24
30+24=54
54>50, nope, that is over cost


answer is 3rd one
the one with 1 cubic yard compost and 12 cubic yard topsoil
