Hello! I can help you! In general, the larger the size, the larger the cost. We will assume that $8 is the youth size and $12 is the adult size. x is the youth side and y is the adult side. The first part of the equation is 8x + 12y, BUT the key words in the problem are AT MOST, so out sign will be less than or equal to (≤), because the number can't be higher than 216, but it could be right at that number or less, so the equation is 8x + 12y ≤ 216. The answer is A.
I got 22 because if u do 20 multiplied by 10% that gives u 2 which u then add onto the 20 to get the starting price. 10% of 22 is 2 and then 22-2 = 20 (if u we’re doing it from the starting price)
