Answer:

D) 90 cupcakes and 20 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

90(1.5) + 20(.75) = 135 + 50 = $185

90 + 20 is less than or equal to 120

185 is greater than 125

Why other options won't work:

A) 50(1.5) + 60(.75) = 75 + 12   [$87 is less than $125]

B) 60(1.5) + 40(.75) = 90 + 30   [$120 is less than $125]

C) 100 cupcakes + 30 cookies exceeds 120 treats
