Let's analyze the information provided step-by-step to determine which statement must be true.* **Ethan:** Sold 8 TVs.* **Frank:** Sold twice as many TVs as Gina (Frank = 2 * Gina).* **Gabriel:** Sold more TVs than Ethan (Gabriel > 8).* **Gina:** Sold three more TVs than Gabriel and Ethan combined (Gina = Gabriel + Ethan + 3 = Gabriel + 8 + 3 = Gabriel + 11).Now let's substitute and solve:Since Frank = 2 * Gina, and Gina = Gabriel + 11, then Frank = 2 * (Gabriel + 11) = 2Gabriel + 22.Let's examine each statement:1. **Gabriel and Gina combined sold more TVs than Frank:** Gabriel + Gina > Frank. Substituting, we get Gabriel + (Gabriel + 11) > 2Gabriel + 22. This simplifies to 2Gabriel + 11 > 2Gabriel + 22, which is false. This statement is **not** true.2. **Frank sold more than 40 TVs:** Frank = 2Gabriel + 22. We know Gabriel > 8. If Gabriel were 9, Frank would be 40. If Gabriel were 10, Frank would be 42. Since Gabriel must be greater than 8, Frank *could* be more than 40, but it's not guaranteed. This statement is **not** necessarily true.3. **Gina sold more than twice as many TVs as Ethan:** Gina > 2 * Ethan. Gina = Gabriel + 11, and Ethan = 8. So Gabriel + 11 > 16, meaning Gabriel > 5. Since Gabriel > 8, this statement is **true**.4. **Gina sold exactly twice as many TVs as Gabriel:** Gina = 2 * Gabriel. This contradicts our earlier equation: Gina = Gabriel + 11. This statement is **not** true.5. **Ethan, Gabriel, Gina, and Frank combined sold more than 80 TVs:** Ethan + Gabriel + Gina + Frank > 80. Substituting, we get 8 + Gabriel + (Gabriel + 11) + (2Gabriel + 22) > 80. This simplifies to 4Gabriel + 41 > 80, or 4Gabriel > 39, meaning Gabriel > 9.75. Since Gabriel must be a whole number representing TVs sold, Gabriel ≥ 10. If Gabriel were 10, the total would be 8 + 10 + 21 + 42 = 81, which is greater than 80. This statement is **true**.Therefore, the statements that **must** be true are:* **Gina sold more than twice as many TVs as Ethan.*** **Ethan, Gabriel, Gina, and Frank combined sold more than 80 TVs.**
