D.

Kelly got 3^3 (27) while Alia got 4^2 (16) less than her. When you put it together you get 3^3 - 4^2

Answer:

Option D. Alia gets 3³ - 4² = 11 jelly beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kathy gives Kelly 3³ jelly beans.

Kathy gives Alia 4² fewer jelly beans than Kelly. This means that Alia gets the number of jelly beans obtained by Kelly decreased by 4².

To summarize:

#Kelly = 3³ = 27

#Alia = #Kelly - 4² = <u>3³ - 4²</u> = 27 - 16 = 11

Then, option D is correct.
