B) $29
C) $36
D) $42

Answer 1

Answer:

$21

Step-by-step explanation:

1.25 + 1.25 = 2.50

3.75 + 3.75 = 7.50

1.50 + 1.50 = 3.00

1.75 + 1.75 = 3. 50

2.25 + 2.25 = 4.50

2.50 + 7.50 = 10.00

10.00 + 3.00 = 13.00

13.00 + 3.50 = 16.50

16.50 + 4.50 = 21.00

Answer = $21

Answer 2

Answer:

B] $29

Step-by-step explanation:

1.25 x 2 = 2.50

3.75 x 2 = 7.50

1.50 x 2=3

4 x 1.75= 7

4x 2.25 = 9

2.50+7.50+3+7+9=29
