C) Victoria has y dollars. This amount is 12 times x, the amount of money in dollars Victoria's brother has.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is represented as y = 12x

The option A) does not match the equation. since it is given that x is 12 times y (x = 12y). The option B) does not match the equation since it is given that she recieves $12 as change (x = y-12) The option C) matches the equation since Victoria has 12 times the amount of his brother (y = 12x) The option D) does not match the equation since Victoria is 12 years greater (y = x+12)
