Karen has a budget of $80, Tara has a budget of $60, and Chelsea has a budget of $40 to spend on ice cream and paperback novels. Who can afford to purchase 8 gallons of ice cream and 5 paperback novels?a. Karen, Tara, and Chelsea
b. Karen only
c. Tara and Chelsea but not Karen
d. none of the women

b. Karen only

Step-by-step explanation:

Ice cream costs $5 per gallon, and paperback novels cost $8 each. This means that the total cost of 8 gallons of ice cream and 5 paperback novels would be

(8 × 5) + (5 × 8)

= 40 + 40

= $80

If Karen has a budget of $80, Tara has a budget of $60, and Chelsea has a budget of $40 to spend on ice cream and paperback novels. It means that only Karen can afford to purchase 8 gallons of ice cream and 5 paperback novels.
