    Answer: C (12 + 1.5x = 16 + 0.50x)

    Explanation:

    This is correct because when setting up this sentence as an equation, you need to look at the numbers and how they're used. There are independents and dependents.

    independent:

    12,16

    dependent:

    1.50,0.50

    Furthermore, there are 1 of each on both sides of the equation, match them from the equation by name and you get the answer.
