Answer:

2 * $87 - $12 = R

Step-by-step explanation:

Let R represent the cost of Vanessa's rent.

Vanessa spent $87.00 on entertainment for the week.

Her rent costs twelve dollars less than double that amount. Breaking it down, the expression "double that amount" is expressed as (2 × 87). Subtracting 12 from double that amount, the final expression would become

R = 2(87) - 12

R =

R = 174 - 12

The correct option is

2 * $87 - $12 = R
