Ryan, Darius, and Mason each have $15.75. They each spend the same amount (d), in dollars, at the school fair. The total amount of money they still have can be expressed as 3(15.75 - d). Which expression is equivalent to the total amount, in dollars, they still have?

\begin{gathered} 3(15.75-d)=3\cdot15.75-3d \\ =47.25-3d \\ \\ 47.25-3d\text{ Is a similar expression} \end{gathered}
