Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

A business executive leases a car for $300 per month.

She decides to lease another brand for $250 per month but has to pay a penalty of $1000 for breaking the first lease.

Let she leases these brands for x months.

For brand one,

Total lease to be paid = 300x

For brand two lease amount = 250x + 1000

If both the amounts be the same then

300x  = 250x + 1000

300x - 250x = 1000

50x = 1000

x =

Therefore, If she keeps the second car more than 20 months, second car will come out ahead.

Option C. is the answer.

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.

i think the amount would be $140.62
