Answer: B is your correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation: If she has already made $95.00 from selling jam and made $24.00 from demonstrations you add those together to get $119. Then you subtract $119.00 from $450.00 and you'll have $331.00 left to make. Finally you divide $331.00 by $5.00 (cost of jam) and you'll find that you have to sell 66 more jars of jam.

Answer:

Option C. 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Elizabeth is selling jam at a farmers market, and she earns $5.00 for each jar of jam that she sells.

She has already made $95.00 from jam sales and $24.00 from leading a demonstration.

She has made money = 95 + 24 = $119.00

Her goal for the weekend is to earn at least $450.00

Now She is away from her goal = 450 - 119 = $331

To achieve the goal she has to sell the number of jar of jam = [tex]\frac{331}{5}[/tex]

                                                 = $66.2

To make at least $450 she must sell 67 jars of jam.
