Marcus needs 12 cups of edible flowers to make the breakfast mixture to feed the zoo's emperor tamarin monkey troop for the week. The number of cups of edible flowers the zoo has in storage is represented by the expression 1.875c−(c+0.5d). If c=25 and d=20, does Marcus have enough edible flowers to make the breakfast mixture for the emperor tamarin monkeys?

No, because 1.875(25)-((25)+0.5(20))=11.875, which is less than 12.

No, because 1.875(25)−((25)+0.5(25))=9.375, which is less than 12.

No, because 1.875(20)−((25)+0.5(20))=2.5, which is less than 12.

No, because 1.875(20)−((20)+0.5(25))=5, which is less than 12.

Answer:

No, because 1.875(25)-((25)+0.5(20))=11.875, which is less than 12.

Explanation:

c = 25 d = 20

1.875(25) - (25+0.5*20) =

46.875 - 35 =

11.875
