Statement # could be a correct interpretation of the coefficient of a term.

Answer 1

Statement #1: Tatiana spent $4.00 per book at the public library.

This statement could be a correct interpretation of the coefficient of a term. The coefficient, in this case, represents the cost per book, so spending $4.00 per book aligns with this interpretation.

Statement #2: Tatiana spent $18.00 per book at the public library.

This statement is not a correct interpretation of the coefficient of a term. The coefficient, in this case, represents the additional cost added to the base amount of $18.00. It does not represent the total cost per book.
