Kathy distributes jelly beans among her friends. alia gets 4^2 fewer jelly beans than kelly, who gets 3^3 jelly beans. how many jelly beans does alia get? a. 4^2 − 3^3 b. 3^3 + 4^2 c. 4 − 3^3 d. 3^3 − 4^2 e. 3^2 − 4^3

Option D. Alia gets 3³ - 4² = 11 jelly beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kathy gives Kelly 3³ jelly beans.

Kathy gives Alia 4² fewer jelly beans than Kelly. This means that Alia gets the number of jelly beans obtained by Kelly decreased by 4².

To summarize:

#Kelly = 3³ = 27

#Alia = #Kelly - 4² = 3³ - 4² = 27 - 16 = 11

Then, option D is correct.
