Albert Wallace · Answer 1

The answer is B I am like 99 percent sure

Carleigh Hancock · Answer 2

D

Step-by-step explanation:

both A and B are false, because no value would allow Sari to pay Raymond and then still have 30 dollars so it has to be C or D

42 - 24 = 18 18 times 3 is 54, so this appears to work

30 + 24 = 54

42 - 18 = 24 24 times 3 is not 48, so C is incorrect

30 + 18 = 48
