Question 9 • Online Algebra, Function, Number A

Sianna bought 3 pens, 4 notebooks, and a calculator. The calculator cost $25. If x represents the cost of each pen and y represents the cost of each notebook, which expression represents the amount of change Sianna should receive from $50?

Answer
A
3x + 4y +25
B
50 – (3x + 4y)
C
50 – (3x + 4y + 25)
D
3x + 4y + 25 + 50

Explanation

The total cost is 3x for the pens, 4y for the notebooks, and $25 for the calculator, so it is 3x + 4y + 25. Change is the amount paid minus the total cost: 50 − (3x + 4y + 25). This matches choice C.
