B.
v= $3,995.72 + $1,838.03
C.
v= $3,995.72 - $2,157.69
D.
v= $3,995.72 + $2,157.69

Answer 1

A. v= $3,995.72 - $1,838.03

Explanation:

Given:

fixed expenses: $1,838.03

total expenses: $3,995.72

We need to find the amount of Variable expense (v).

Now We know that;

Variable expense (v) can be calculated by Subtracting Fixed expense form Total expense.

framing in equation form we get;

Variable expense (v) = total expenses - fixed expenses.

Variable expense (v) = $3,995.72 - $1,838.03 = $2,157.69

Hence The equation represents Jessie's variable expense (v) = $3,995.72 - $1,838.03
