Oohkaay , so usually its not this easy for word problems... but this one specifically states they want 3 times as many top flight than bargain , so you could do trial and error .. but for other problems all you have to do is plug in the numbers for the uniform and in this case 
a...you would have more bargain than top flight
b...you would have 3 times as many bargain than top flight.. why its right
c...you would be spending more than you have in your budget
d...you would once again be going over your budget


@honey_bee ... and I meant to put B Not D
