The expression \(4.5 + 15\) can be interpreted as follows:
- \(4.5\) represents the entry fee for the car.
- \(15\) represents the total individual entry fees for Derrick and Maria (since that amount would be consistent with them both paying).
From this analysis, the correct interpretation is:
**a** the entry fee for the car was $4.50.
So the correct answer is **a**.
- \(4.5\) represents the entry fee for the car.
- \(15\) represents the total individual entry fees for Derrick and Maria (since that amount would be consistent with them both paying).
