UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

The correct expression is:

**C. $$ 12 + a $$**

### **Explanation:**

Jasmine initially has **12** stuffed animals on her shelf. Her older sister gives her **$$ a $$** more stuffed animals. To find the **total** number of stuffed animals now on the shelf, you **add** the number she already has to the number her sister gave her.

$$
\text{Total stuffed animals} = \text{Initial stuffed animals} + \text{Stuffed animals given by sister}
$$

$$
\text{Total stuffed animals} = 12 + a
$$

So, the expression that represents the total number of stuffed animals on the shelf is **$$ 12 + a $$**.
The total number of stuffed animals on the shelf is $$ 12 + a $$.
