The correct answer is option B and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Shawn owed 40% of his tuition bill, b, after paying $6.00

= 40%of (b-6)

B. The amount donated to the school was 40% more that $6.00.

Amount donated to the school = b

b=6+40% of b

C. The cost for a coat was 40% of the sum of b and $6.00.

= 40% (b+6)

D. Summer paid $6.00 more than 40% of b.

Amount by summer = x

= 40%b+6
