d. x + $44 < $308

The correct option is A. $2x + $132 < $308

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem first we have to calculate the cost of 44 vases that costs $3 each.

So, mathematically speaking:

Now that we have the total the cost of the vases, we have to add the cost of the flowers with the information given:

The expression that represents the cost of the flowers is 2x.

Finally, the sum of both costs must be less than $308.

So, the final expression is:

$2x + $132 < $308 (option a).
