A clothing store is having a sale on shirts and pants. During the sale, the cost of each shirt is $15 and the cost of each pair of pants is $25. Geoff can spend at most $120 at the store. If Geoff buys s shirts and p pairs of pants, which of the following must be true?
\n","rationale_html":"Choice A is correct. Since the cost of each shirt is $15 and Geoff buys s shirts, the expression represents the amount Geoff spends on shirts. Since the cost of each pair of pants is $25 and Geoff buys p pairs of pants, the expression
represents the amount Geoff spends on pants. Therefore, the sum
represents the total amount Geoff spends at the store. Since Geoff can spend at most $120 at the store, the total amount he spends must be less than or equal to 120. Thus,
.
Choice B is incorrect. This represents the situation in which Geoff spends at least, rather than at most, $120 at the store. Choice C is incorrect and may result from reversing the cost of a shirt and that of a pair of paints. Choice D is incorrect and may result from both reversing the cost of a shirt and that of a pair of pants and from representing a situation in which Geoff spends at least, rather than at most, $120 at the store.
