–5 × 0.75 × 20 could be rewritten (applying the associative property) as –5 × (0.75 × 20). I chose this configuration because 0.75 * 20 is 15. Next, evaluate -5(15). This is -75. This matches Answer D.
The total amount of the bracelets and necklaces is less than $120, so if you add the price of each necklace ($8) and the price of each bracelet ($7), it will be <$120.
