Answer 2

the correct answer to your question is A) y(12-x). How?? well, 12 dollars is how much she sells them for, and you would need to subtract the amount of money to make the scarves from the 12 dollars which means 12-x, then you multiply it all by y which is the number of scarves Penny sells meaning the equation is y(12-x) or option 1
