To find out how much Mrs. Banks spent on markers, you need to multiply the cost per box of markers by the number of students.

Cost per box = $1.69
Number of students = 29

Total cost = Cost per box × Number of students
Total cost = $1.69 × 29

Now, let's calculate it:

\[ 1.69 \times 29 = 49.01 \]

Therefore, Mrs. Banks spent $49.01.

The correct answer is A. $49.01.
