Answer 7

I think it's A

Answer 8

yes i would say it is c

the fist pair of show are 19$

the other pair of shoes are 31$

because it said the price of the first pair of shoes plush 12$

19+13=31

then it say what it the cost of both shoes

31+19=50

so I would have to say C

Answer 9

2 shoes cost 19 for sandals
31 for boots
= 50
or to be exact 49.78


So I say C

Answer 10

19+12=31 not 19+13
