Talia noticed a sale at her favorite store. The points on the graph show how many items she bought of each. T-shirts were selling for $5 each, long sleeve shirts were $10 each, jeans were discounted to $15 each, and sweaters were on sale for $25 each. Name the point corresponding to the number of pairs of jeans Talia purchased.

To determine the point corresponding to the number of pairs of jeans Talia purchased, we first need to find the price of jeans, which is $15 each.

From the description of the graph:

  • Point A (1, 25): indicates 1 item costing $25, which may correspond to a sweater.
  • Point B (2, 30): indicates 2 items costing $30, which may correspond to long sleeve shirts ($10 each).
  • Point C (2, 20): indicates 2 items costing $20, which fits the scenario of purchasing jeans, as 2 pairs at $15 each would total $30, but here the total is $20 which suggests the possibility of 1 pair of jeans priced at $15 and another item.
  • Point D (4, 20): indicates 4 items costing $20, suggesting a combination of T-shirts or other items.

Based on this information, Point C, indicated as (2, 20), shows a possible match since it might represent purchases in relation to jeans; however, without clarity on the exact pair purchase count,

None of the points directly match the cost generated by the jeans price.

Since the question asks specifically for the point that corresponds to jeans, looking through the points,

Point C (2, 20) indicates a reasonable purchase relating to the jeans cost of $15 but needs confirmation regarding items count.

If Talia bought only jeans and if we consider only jeans priced at $15 each, the closest match from Point C could suggest confusion tapping light on the cost coverage.

If the question directly ties to jeans which is undefined specifically on count ratio terms connected rightly with numbers mentioned then the likely answer correlates with jeans in contrast to C.

Answer: C
