1. The problem asks which scenarios could describe the number 35. 2. Let's analyze each scenario: A) Customer had 20 and deposited 15. Total = $20 + 15 = 35$. B) Basketball team scored 17 + 18 points. Total = $17 + 18 = 35$. C) Runner's pace changed from 5:45 to 5:10. These are times, not sums or differences that equal 35. D) Puppy weighed 15 pounds and now 50 pounds. Difference = $50 - 15 = 35$. E) Temperature was 0 and now 35 degrees below zero. This is -35, not 35. 3. So, scenarios A, B, and D describe the number 35. Final answer: A, B, and D.
