Let's break down the information in the problem:
- Edmund pays $6 for each punk rock video cassette, V
- Edmund earns $24 for each sack of garbage he accepts, G
- Edmund receives an allowance of $96 from his relatives, which is not tied to his purchases or earnings
We can create a budget equation using these variables:
6V + 24G + 96 = total budget
Simplifying the equation, we get:
6V + 24G = total budget - 96
This matches the equation in choice D, so that is the best choice.
