Idon't understand this question asap, this is due tomorrow

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be: 25x+20y=1,200

x= amount of money per pair of athletic shoes

y= amount of money per pair of hiking shoes

Plug in the answer choices into x and y to see if the equation is true

A. 25(20)+20(35)=1,200

B. 25(25)+20(30)=1,225

C. 25(24)+20(27)=1,140

D. 25(35)+20(20)=1,275

A is the only answer that is correct

you didn't post any answer choices, so its not 100% clear what your teacher is looking for

however, log(15/7) is equivalent to log(15) - log(7)

i'm using the rule log(x/y) = log(x) - log(y)
