Tip: Press CTRL/Command to toggle answer
Correct Answer: A
Rationale

Choice A is correct. The number of birds can be found by calculating the value of b when r=16 in the given equation. Substituting 16 for r in the given equation yields 2.5b+516=80, or 2.5b+80=80. Subtracting 80 from both sides of this equation yields 2.5b=0. Dividing both sides of this equation by 2.5 yields b=0. Therefore, if the business cares for 16 reptiles on a given day, it can care for 0 birds on this day.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
