Answer:
B. 5i + 12b < 100
Step-by-step explanation:
I used process of elimination on to figure this one out.
I first eliminated A because I knew the i should be next to the 5. I know this because i (ink) costs 5 dollars each.
I next eliminated D because this equation is looking to find the sum of the ink and the new brushes, not the ink plus the total cost equaling the brushes.
Finally, I eliminated C because Emily only has $100, so the cost of the ink (i) and the brushes (b) must NOT excede 100 dollars. From this, I can see that C states that the sum exceeds Emily’s $100 budget
This leaves us with B as the final answer
Hope this helps! Have a lovely rest of your day!
