The correct option is B.
From the information given in the question, we can see that only the rich in the society had telephone in their homes during the time of the said presidential election. Thus, the presidential candidate that was ahead in telephone polls was actually getting in touch with the rich only; he was not getting through to the larger part of the society, who are poor. Since both the poor and  the rich are going to vote in the presidential election, it means that Dewey campaigned to only a subset of the society, that was why he was defeated during the election.

Answer:

8h + 15 = 39

Step-by-step explanation:

The base fee is 15 so you shouldn't multiply the hours by it.

The question states 8 per hour which means that you should multiply the 8 by hours and add on the base fee which is 15.

A hockey season ticket holder pays $99.00 for her tickets plus $3.00 for a program for each game. A second person pays $14.00 fo
ddd [48]

The two person will pay the same amount of money when they both watch 9 hockey games.

<h3>How to find the equation and use it to find cost?</h3>

A hockey season ticket holder pays $99.00 for her tickets plus $3.00 for a program for each game. Therefore,

y = 99 + 3x

where

y = total cost

x = number of game

A second person pays $14.00 for a ticket to every game but doesn't buy programs. Therefore,

y = 14x

The number of games they will have the same amount is as follows:

99 + 3x = 14x

99  = 14x - 3x

99 = 11x

x = 99 / 11

x = 9

Therefore, they will have the same amount when they watch 9 games.
