Final answer:

If classic apps are $2 each and new-release apps are $5 each, Trey could afford any of the listed combinations of additional apps since all are within his $24.95 budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question posed is a mathematical problem related to budgeting and decision-making. Trey has a total of $24.95 on a gift card and wants to buy certain apps that are classified as either classic or new-release apps. To help Trey make a decision, we would need to know the cost of each type of app.

Since the specific costs of the classic and new-release apps are not provided in the question, we need to make an assumption or have additional information. For the sake of an example, let's assume classic apps cost $2 each, and new-release apps cost $5 each.

With the information given, we can calculate the cost for each combination of additional apps Trey is considering:

  • 2 classic games: 2*$2 = $4
  • 1 classic game and 1 new release game: $2 + $5 = $7
  • 2 new release games: 2*$5 = $10
  • 2 classic games and 1 new release game: 2*$2 + $5 = $9

If Trey has $24.95 and each option is within this budget, he can afford any of the combinations. However, it's important to consider the exact costs of each app in real scenarios as they may vary and affect Trey's decision.
