Answer:
Answer C 2,799.159
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
$153
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the total cost, we have to calculate the area of one bead, then all of them:
Area of one bead = pi x r^2 = 3.14 x 0.5^2 = 3.14 x 0.25 = 0.765cm^2
Area of 20 beads = 0.765 x 20 = 15.3cm^2
Now, we are able to calculate the ultimate cost of coating:
If the cost is $10 per cm^2, then we have to find how much it costs to coat 15.3 cm^2.
15.3 x 10 = $153.

You have not given us any of the steps that Ricardo took to simplify the
expression, and you also haven't given us the list of choices that includes
the description of his mistake, so you're batting O for two so far.
Other than those minor details, the question is intriguing, and it certainly
draws me in.
If Ricardo made a mistake in simplifying that expression, I'm going to say that
it was most likely in the process of removing the parentheses in the middle.
Now you understand that this is all guess-work, because of all the stuff that you
left out when you copied the question, but I think he probably forgot that the 3x
operates on everything inside the parentheses.
He probably wrote that 3x (x-3) is
either 3x² - 3
or x - 9x .
In reality, when properly simplified,
3x (x - 3) = 3x² - 9x .
