To find the point corresponding to the number of pairs of jeans Talia purchased, we need to analyze the coordinates you've provided.

In the context of the shopping scenario:

  • The first coordinate (x-value) usually represents the number of items bought.
  • The second coordinate (y-value) might represent the total cost or a different item count.

Given the coordinates:

  • Point D: (4, 20)
  • Point B: (2, 30)
  • Point A: (1, 25)
  • Point C: (2, 20)

From the information provided, we need to identify which point represents the number of jeans. Jeans are priced at $15 each.

Based on the coordinates:

  • Point D (4, 20): This could mean 4 items for a total of 20, which doesn’t align with jeans.
  • Point B (2, 30): This likely reflects purchasing items at prices leading to a total of $30.
  • Point A (1, 25): This also doesn’t appear to be related to jeans purchases.
  • Point C (2, 20): This could correspond to 2 items for a total that doesn’t clearly correlate with jeans prices.

None of the coordinates explicitly indicate jeans purchased based on the provided price points.

However, if we assume a correlation between the first coordinate and jeans purchased specifically and we simply know that jeans are discounted to $15 each (so typically if Lalia purchased 2 pair, she would have spent $30), point B (2, 30) would most convincingly represent the purchase of jeans.

Thus, the point corresponding to the number of pairs of jeans Talia purchased is B (2, 30), where Talia bought 2 pairs of jeans totaling $30.
