Answer 1

Option C, which represents $(40 x 10) + (3 * 1) + (9 x 10) + (6 x 0.01)$, is incorrect because it equals $436.06, and not $43.96 which is the amount Jannel saved.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which representation does NOT correctly represent the amount of money Jannel saved, which is $43.96. Let's look at each option:A. Forty-three and ninety-six hundredths - Correct representation in words.B. 40 + 3 + 0.9 + 0.06 - Correct representation using addition.C. (40 x 10) + (3 * 1) + (9 x 10) + (6 x 0.01) - This is incorrect as it represents $436.06 instead of $43.96.D. (4 x 10) + (3 * 1) + (9 * 0.1) + (6 * 0.01) - Correct representation using multiplication and the place values of each digit.

Therefore, option C does NOT correctly represent the amount of money Jannel saved.To properly represent the amount of money Jannel saved for the tablet, we need to convert $43.96 into numerical form. We can write $43.96 as 43 + 0.9 + 0.06, which is equivalent to 40 + 3 + 0.9 + 0.06. Therefore, option B (40 + 3 + 0.9 + 0.06) correctly represents the amount of money Jannel saved for the tablet.
