Step-by-step explanation:

The options are missing. However, the question is still solvable.

Given

[tex]Work\ Hours = 1944[/tex]

[tex]Earnings = \$14[/tex] per hour

[tex]Estimated\ Earnings = \$28,000[/tex]

[tex]Sedan = \$25,750[/tex]

[tex]Convertible = \$27,990[/tex]

[tex]SUV = \$29,500[/tex]

First, we need to calculate her actual earnings.

This is calculated by multiplying the actual work hours (without approximation) by the earnings per hour

[tex]Total\ Earnings = 1944 * \$14[/tex]

[tex]Total\ Earnings = \$27,216[/tex]

Next, we compare this actual earnings to the amount of a Convertible

[tex]\$27216 < \$27,990[/tex]

Hence, Ashlee's conclusion is not logical because with her actual earnings, she cannot afford a Convertible
