Your answer is C. No more than 8 photographs.

This is found by setting the expression equal to 50, as $50 would be the cost and thus represent c. This gives us:

50 = 15 + 4n
- 15
35 = 4n
÷ 4
n = 8.75

Because n does not equal a whole number, we must round down as it is not possible to purchase 3/4 (0.75) of a photograph, and we are not able to purchase more without spending more money. This gives us the final answer as 8, so no more than 8 photographs can be purchased.

I hope this helps!
