The function t(x) = 3x + 5 determines how many cans of corn kernels a food truck needs to stock, where x is the number of shifts the crew is going to work in the truck. The crew uses c(t(x)) to find the amount of money to spend on corn. The function c(x) = 2x + 3. Solve for how much money must be spent when the crew is going to work 3 shifts.

Let us first find c(t(x))
we have
 c(x) = 2x + 3 
Now substituting  x= t(x) in  c(x)  we find:
c(t(x)) = 2(3x + 5) + 3 = 6x +10 + 3= 6x+ 13
Next let us substitute x= 3 as x is the number of shifts and crew is going to work 3 shifts
Thus we find

c(t(3)) = 6(3)+ 13 = 18 + 13 = 31
hence amount of money to be spent is 31
Hence third option is the correct answer..
