Four different roads from Town A to Town B, and three different roads run from Town B to Town C. Two roads also run from Town A to Town C, bypassing Town B.
How many different round trips can you make from Town Ato Town Cand back?
81
182
196

196

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, I broke it down into two parts.

A. Number of routes going to Town C

4 x 3 + 2 = 14

B. Number of routes going back to Town A

3 x 4 + 2 = 14

From here, it is easy to see what to do. Since there are 14 routes going to Town C and 14 routes going back, the answer is 14 x 14 = 196.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
