It’s B because James already had 395 and he needs less then or equal to 395 and he already has 15 saved but he gets and additional 25 because it 25x meaning that’s him getting $25 more already having $15 saved up

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation: James needs $395 or more, so it can't be A or D because those problems don't mention 395$. B is saying that he already has $15, and can save 25$ per week, (x represents the number of weeks) while D is saying he already has 25$ and can save 15$ per week.
