(92 - x)36 + (92 - 40) ⋅ 48 = C

 (40 + x)36 + (92 - (40 + x)) ⋅ 48 = C

 (92 + x)36 + (92 - (40 + x)) ⋅ 48 = C

 (40 - x)36 + (92 - 40) ⋅ 48 = C

I believe it's D.

(92-40) represent the amount of student over 12. Since 40 represent 12 years old and less. Then you multiply that by 48 to get the cost. Make sense?
