A line graph shows number of items on the x-axis and cost in dollars on the y-axis. The graph shows the trends for A, B, C, and D. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 7 in increments of 1. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 35 in increments of 5. A line starts at the origin and passes through the plotted point A at left parenthesis 1 comma 25 right parenthesis. A line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point B at left parenthesis 2 comma 30 right parenthesis. A line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point C at left parenthesis 2 comma 20 right parenthesis. A line starts at the origin and passes through plotted point D at left parenthesis 4 comma 20 right parenthesis.

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 will first identify the cost of jeans and the relevant plotted points:

  1. Jeans are selling for $15 each.
  2. Talia bought a certain number of pairs of jeans, and we need to find which point corresponds to this purchase.

Let's analyze the points:

  • Point A is at (1, 25): This suggests 1 item costing $25, which doesn't correspond to jeans.
  • Point B is at (2, 30): This suggests 2 items costing $30, which doesn't match the jeans price as it is not a multiple of $15.
  • Point C is at (2, 20): This suggests 2 items costing $20, which also does not match the jeans price.
  • Point D is at (4, 20): This suggests 4 items costing $20, which means the items are not jeans since 4 pairs of jeans would cost $60.

Since no points correctly match the cost of jeans based on purchasing multiples of $15, we need to find the appropriate number of jeans that would equal $15 each:

  • If Talia bought 1 pair of jeans, it would cost $15, which is not represented on the graph.
  • If Talia bought 2 pairs of jeans, it would cost $30, which corresponds to Point B (2, 30).

Given this analysis, the point that corresponds to the number of pairs of jeans Talia purchased would be:

B
