Answer :

To determine which car is the most expensive for Molly, we need to calculate the total cost for each car, including the cost of options. Let's go through the calculation for each car color step-by-step:

1. Blue Car:
- Price of car = \[tex]$18,790 - Cost of options = \$[/tex]625
- Total cost = \[tex]$18,790 + \$[/tex]625 = \[tex]$19,415 2. Red Car: - Price of car = \$[/tex]17,490
- Cost of options = \[tex]$425 - Total cost = \$[/tex]17,490 + \[tex]$425 = \$[/tex]17,915

3. Gold Car:
- Price of car = \[tex]$19,678 - Cost of options = \$[/tex]0 (no options)
- Total cost = \[tex]$19,678 + \$[/tex]0 = \[tex]$19,678 4. White Car: - Price of car = \$[/tex]18,650
- Cost of options = \[tex]$525 - Total cost = \$[/tex]18,650 + \[tex]$525 = \$[/tex]19,175

Now that we have the total costs for each car:
- Blue Car: \[tex]$19,415 - Red Car: \$[/tex]17,915
- Gold Car: \[tex]$19,678 - White Car: \$[/tex]19,175

Comparing these totals, the Gold car, with a total cost of \$19,678, is the most expensive for Molly.

Thus, the gold car is the most expensive for Molly.
