Answer 1

It is C, It kind of give you a hint because it says $25 more meaning +25 and three times meaning 3x. And it also tells you how much it adds up to which is $154.

Answer 2

Answer: 3x + $25 = $154

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation analyzing the information given:

"Jamie spent $25 more than three times what Sara spent. Jamie spent $154. "

We don't know how much Sara spent, so, that number is represented with "x".

If Jamie spent $25 more (add 25) than 3 times what Sara spent (3x).

The equation is:

3x +25 =154

In conclusion, the equation that will help us find how much Sara spent is 3x + $25 = $154.
