Substitution will do justice to such a question.
Let n=3, x=y=1, that is
$19 : 2
$29 : 0
$49 : 1
Revenue = 19×2 + 49×1 = 87

Option A to C has 24n, that is 24×3 or 72.
So the remaining should give 15.
20x-5y = 20×1-5×1 = 15
72+15 = 87

Let us check 29n, which becomes 29×3 = 87. But there are other terms too. Thus D and E can be eliminated

C

Each lunch customer at Regina’s orders one of three set lunch menus, priced at €19, €29, and €49. Yesterday, x of Regina’s n lunch customers ordered the €49 menu, and y more customers ordered the €19 menu than ordered either of the two more expensive menus. What was Regina’s lunch revenue yesterday?

A) 24n + 20x + 5y
B) 24n + 20x − 10y
C) 24n + 20x − 5y
D) 29n + 30x − 10y
E) 29n + 30x − 5y
