Brody wants to build a model ship. He has already saved $30 for the materials and plans. The materials costs $24.89 and the plans cost $8.29.


Brody says he has to save $5.11 more to pay for the materials and plans.


Which explanation explains whether Brody is correct or not?


A.

Brody is correct.


Estimation: 30.00 – 8.29 is about 22.

$22 + $25 = $47.

Brody needs to save about $47 more.


B.

Brody is not correct.


Estimation: 24.89 – 8.29 is about 17.

$30 – $17 = $13.

Brody needs to save about $13 more.


C.

Brody is not correct.


Estimation: 24.89 + 8.29 is about 33.

$33 – $30 = $3.

Brody needs to save about $3 more.

The correct answer is C., because they did the steps correctly.

A is not right because you're not supposed to add the cost ( $25 ) to the money saved for the expenses. ( it would be $22 since you already minus out the 8.29 cost )

B is also not correct because you do not subtract the cost from another cost. ( 24.89 - 8.29 )
