A) 12-m
B)12+m
C)12m
D)12/m

Answer 1

If Diane purchased 12 handkerchiefs for a set amount of money, then the equation would just be the amount of items that Diane bought times the amount of money that one of those items costs. We use a variable (in this case, m) to represent the amount of money one handkerchief costs, so the appropriate expression to represent this would be

12m

Option C is your correct answer choice.
