The statement that determines how many sport cards Kurt can buy would be B> To stay on budget, Kurt can buy fewer than 43 cards.

Explanation:

First, we would do $50 - $7 to find out how much he can spend on cards, which is $43. Since, each card costs $1 and $43 divided by 1 is 43, he can buy less than 43 cards.
