Shelly purchased tickets at the group rate for herself and 14 friends to attend the play on Saturday afternoon. The following strip diagram represents the total cost for the group, g, to attend the play.

What is

B. g = 14 * 16; where g equals the total cost for the group to attend the play.
C. g = 15 * 16; where g equals the total cost for the group to attend the play.
D. g = 15* 16; where g equal the total cost for the group to attend the play.
