Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
as stated by the questions, the client has a budget of $250, which means we can't exceed $250. This will be our y (dependent variable, as the cost for y depends on how many bouquets we will purchase).
the bouquets cost 14.95 each, so if we have x bouquets , that means that the cost will be 14.95x (independent variable, as this gives the value of y).
therefore, the equation is 250=14.95x, which is C
but let's do process of eliminiation to double check:
if we look at the options, B and D are out (the cost of the bouquets isn't $250 each and also we can't have 250 bouquets , that would be too expensive for the client).
that leaves A and C
A isn't the correct answer. At first glance, it looks like we just switched x and y around. However, it cannot work because x is always the independent variable while y is the dependent variable (the value of y depends on the value of x, while the value of x doesn't depend on y).
Also, there's no mention of the $250 budget in A
by process of elimination and by the explanation above C is the correct answer.
Hope this helps!
