Bonnie is correct

Step-by-step explanation: from the above question:

Susan and bonnie are shopping for school clothes.

Susan has $50 and a coupon for a $10 discount at a clothing store where each shirt cost $12.

Susan thinks that she can buy three shirts, but bonnie says Susan can by five shirts.

Hence:

Discount = $10, Discounted price always carries the minus(-) sign

The cost of 1 shirt = $12

Let the number of shirts she can buy = x

Hence our Equation =

$12 × x - $10 = $50

12x = $50 + 10

12x = $60

x = $60/12

x = 5 shirts

Therefore, Bonnie is correct because she can only buy 5 shirts
