Answer:

B. Baseball cap

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total money available with Annabeth = $29.00

Amount at which T-shirt was bought = $15.32

Things that Annabeth wants to buy:

Soccer ball for the price of $12.87 or

Baseball cap for the price of $8.39 or

Set of shin guards for the price of $14.98 or

Water bottle for the price of $5.93

The equation that can be used to find the cost of most expensive item with the remaining amount of money:

$15.32 + [tex]c[/tex] = $29.00

[tex]\Rightarrow c = 29 - 15.32\\\Rightarrow c= \$13.68[/tex]

Cost of items that can be bought in the decreasing order is:

Cost of pair of shin guards ( $14.98 ) > Cost of soccer ball ( $12.87 ) > Cost of baseball cap ($8.39) > Cost of water bottle ( $5.93 )

The most expensive item that can be bought is the Soccer ball at $12.87.

Answer is:

B. Soccer ball

Cost of shin guards is more than the amount of money remaining.
