Explanation:

Answer 2

The souvenirs 1 tote bag, 1 picture frame and 1 mug cost under $2.25.

Explanation:

Here, the amount to be spent of each item = Under $2.25

Now as we know:

`\textrm{Price of each item} = \frac{\textrm{Total Price of n items}}{{n}}`

So, here in the given options:

A.tote bags: 25 for $49.00

`\textrm{Price of each tote bag} = \frac{\textrm{49}}{{25}} = 1.96`

So, the price of 1 tote bag = $1.96 which is under $2.25.

B. picture frames: 15 for $32.25

`\textrm{Price of each picture frame} = \frac{\textrm{32.25}}{{15}} = 2.15`

So, the price of 1 picture frame = $2.15 which is under $2.25.

C. water bottles: 12 for $27.60

`\textrm{Price of each water bottle} = \frac{\textrm{27.60}}{{12}} = 2.3`

So, the price of 1 water bottle = $2.3 which is NOT under $2.25.

D. mugs: 8 for $15.92

`\textrm{Price of each mug} = \frac{\textrm{15.92}}{{8}} = 1.99`

So, the price of 1 mug = $1.99 which is under $2.25.

E. T-shirts: 10 for $25.00

`\textrm{Price of each T-shirt} = \frac{\textrm{25}}{{10}} = 2.5`

So, the price of 1 T-shirt = $2.5 which is NOT under $2.25.

Hence, 1 tote bag, 1 picture frame and 1 mug cost under $2.25.
