    Answer: 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:

    44 x 3 = $132

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

    Flowers = x Cost of each flower = $2

    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).

    Feel free to ask for more if it's necessary or if you did not understand something.
