$
(c) select the true statement.
○ keishas decision not to go bowling means she can afford the shoes this weekend.
○ even though keisha didnt go bowling, she still cannot afford the shoes this weekend.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate sale - price of shoes

The original price of shoes is $65 and there is a $25 off. So we subtract the discount from the original price.
$65 - 25=40$

Step2: Calculate money left if she went bowling

She has $60 saved. Bowling costs $35. So we subtract the cost of bowling from the money she has.
$60 - 35 = 25$

Step3: Determine the true statement

The sale - price of shoes is $40 and she has $60 saved. Since $60>40$, her decision not to go bowling means she can afford the shoes this weekend.

Answer:

(a) $40
(b) $25
(c) Keisha's decision not to go bowling means she can afford the shoes this weekend.
