Diana sold 5 bracelets for $15 each. Jonathan sold 3 necklaces for $19 each. Who earned more money?

Select the best argument for the problem.

A.
Since 5 times 15 is more than 3 times 19, Diana made more.

B.
Diana made $75 because 5 × 15 = 75. Jonathan made $57 because 3 × 19 = 57. Since 75 > 57, Diana made more.

C.
Diana made more. Diana made 5 times 75, and Jonathan made 3 times 57. Since 75 is more than 57, Diana made more.

D.
The total of $75, which is what Diana made, is greater than the total of $57, which is what Jonathan made.

B is the best argument. Diana made $75 because 5 × 15 = 75. Jonathan made $57 because 3 × 19 = 57. Since 75 > 57, so Diana made more.
