Answer:
 B.  The original purchase total must be at most to $44 before the discounts are applied.
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the inequality by adding $10, then dividing by 0.8.
 0.8x -$10 ≤ $25.20
 0.8x ≤ $35.20 . . . . . . . . add $10
 x ≤ $35.20/0.8 . . . . . . . divide by 0.8
 x ≤ $44 . . . . . . . . . the before-discount purchase must be at most $44
