A.)3.25x+13.50 40
C.)13.50x+3.25 40

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

13.50x+3.25 40

Answer 2

The expression which correctly defines the scenario is : 13.50 + 3.25x <= 40

Using the parameters given for our Calculation:

• cost of hat = 13.50
• number of hats = 1
• number of bracelets = x
• cost per bracelet = 3.25
• Amount of gifcard = 40

The total amount to be spent cannot exceed the worth of Omar's giftcard , This means we'll use the <= sign .

Now we have:

13.50 + 3.25x <= 40
