Vehicle Choices Price Sedan $25,750 Convertible $27,990 SUV $29,500 She said, "Since 2,000 × 14 = $28,000, and $27,990 is less than $28,000, I know I have earned enough to buy the convertible."

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are missing. However, the question is still solvable.

Given

$Work\ Hours = 1944$

$Earnings = \ 14$ per hour

$Estimated\ Earnings = \ 28,000$

$Sedan = \ 25,750$

$Convertible = \ 27,990$

$SUV = \ 29,500$

First, we need to calculate her actual earnings.

This is calculated by multiplying the actual work hours (without approximation) by the earnings per hour

$Total\ Earnings = 1944 * \ 14$

$Total\ Earnings = \ 27,216$

Next, we compare this actual earnings to the amount of a Convertible

$\ 27216 < \ 27,990$

Hence, Ashlee's conclusion is not logical because with her actual earnings, she cannot afford a Convertible
