The expression $ 35x + 55y $ represents Anthony's total spending on shoes and jerseys, where: - $ x $ is the number of pairs of shoes he buys, and - $ y $ is the number of jerseys he buys. In this expression: - $ 35x $ indicates the total amount spent on shoes, where $ 35 $ is the cost per pair of shoes. - $ 55y $ indicates the total amount spent on jerseys, where $ 55 $ is the cost per jersey. Regarding the specific part of the expression $ 35x $: 1. "He spends $35 on a pair of shoes." - This statement is true in the context of $ 35x $, as $ 35 $ is the price per pair of shoes. 2. "He spends on a pair of shoes." - This statement is incomplete and unclear. 3. "He spends $35 for a pair of shoes." - This statement is also true, as it reaffirms that $ 35 $ is the price for each individual pair of shoes. Based on this analysis, the correct interpretation of the part of the expression $ 35 $ is that "He spends $35 for a pair of shoes." So the best interpretations would be both 1 and 3, with 3 being the most direct interpretation of the part of the expression.
