At an ice carving competition, each carver starts with a
block of ice with the dimensions shown. the block is 4ft by 2ft by 3 ft
wrapped in a special reflective material to keep it from
melting before the competition starts.
how much reflective material is needed to cover the
block completely, without any overlaps?

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt

my dear correct answer is option number 3
