Question

Lea buys 20 picture frames. Some are 4 in. by 6 in. frames which cost $5.80 each, and the rest are 5 in. by 7 in. frames that cost $9.60 each. She spends a total of $80.80.

Which equation models this situation?

Let f represent the number of 4 in. by 6 in. frames she buys.

A.
9.6f + 5.8(20) = 80.8

B.
5.8f + 9.6(20 – f) = 80.8

C.
(5.8 + 9.6)(20 – f) = 80.8

D.
9.6f + 5.8(f + 20) = 80.8
