Question

Use the image to answer the question.

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 find the point corresponding to the number of pairs of jeans Talia purchased, we need to examine the cost associated with the jeans, which are priced at $15 each.

The graph provides the following points:

  • A: (1, 25) - This corresponds to buying 1 item for $25 (which is not jeans).
  • B: (2, 30) - This corresponds to buying 2 items for $30 (which cannot be jeans at $15 each since that would imply buying 2 items for $30).
  • C: (2, 20) - This corresponds to buying 2 items for $20 (which also cannot be jeans).
  • D: (4, 20) - This corresponds to buying 4 items for $20 (which aligns with buying a quantity of jeans since 4 pairs of jeans would cost $60, not $20).

From the pricing, we can determine that Talia cannot correspond with any of the points A, B, C, or D for jeans based on the prices mentioned. However, if we check the situation again with the provided prices and link to points correctly:

For 0 items, the price would be $0. For 1 item (T-shirt): $5 For 2 items (T-shirts or other): $10 (long sleeve) or $15(jeans). For 2 items at the cost of $20, it fits within a misalignment.

Thus, **the orders of points will not correspond to jeans purchased with proper pricing. **

If we rely more on purchasing jeans factored into the chart:

  • **The best option available for a price listing of jeans would suggest that point B would best correspond due to its wider interpretation. **

In conclusion, without a direct correlation across jeans pricing with the graph, if we determined point selection, I will select point B as fitting jeans choice and cost factors indirectly.

So, the answer regarding jeans Talia purchased corresponds best here given boundaries: B.
