please help im not sure about this and im not at home with my notes

Answer 1

Just calculate the cost of each selection.
I will do the first one, you do the others in the same way

selling price of shirt = .75(15.98) = $11.99
selling price of pants = .85(25.59) = $21.75

A.
cost of 1 shirt and 4 pants = 1(11.99) + 4(21.75) = $98.99
So she can't do that, she only has $90.00

B.
......

Answer 2

so the shirt is 11.99, and that would be 23.98 for two, and then one pair of pants is 21.75, so 21.75 x 3 = 65.25 and then 23.95+65.25=89.2 so she can

Answer 3

I now know that the answer is b and c
