Question

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.
A = 1, $25
B = 2, $30
C = 2, $20
D = 4, $20

Answer 1

To determine the point corresponding to the number of pairs of jeans Talia purchased, we need to look at the price of jeans, which is $15 each.

The points given are in the format (number of items purchased, total cost).

Let's analyze the points given:

- Point A = (1, $25) means Talia bought 1 item for $25. This could not be a jeans purchase because one pair of jeans costs $15.

- Point B = (2, $30) indicates she bought 2 items for $30. This could be possible if she bought 2 long sleeve shirts ($10 each) or 2 jeans (which would cost $30), so this is a possibility for jeans.

- Point C = (2, $20) corresponds to buying 2 items for $20. Buying 2 pairs of jeans would cost $30, so this can't correspond to jeans either.

- Point D = (4, $20) means she bought 4 items for $20. If they were all T-shirts ($5 each), that would work, but this cannot correspond to jeans.

The only point that could correspond to the number of jeans purchased is Point B, where Talia could have purchased 2 pairs of jeans for $30.

Therefore, the answer is Point B = (2, $30).
