Answer 1

C. 5 lawns and 5 cars in order to afford the tickets
A B and D does not equal 125 or above
A is $30+$90= 120
B is $90+$15=105
C is $150+$75=225
D is $60+$30=90

Answer 2

A would give you $120

B would give you $105

C would give you $225

D would give you $90

A, B and D wouldn’t get Paul enough money for the ticket but C would give him enough plus more because 5 lawns is $150 plus 5 cars is $75, 150+75 = 225
