C) (0.85 + x/100)(250+145) does not give the correct answer.
Explanation
A) works; adding the two costs together is 250+145=395. We multiply this by 0.85 because 100%-15%=85%=0.85. We also have x% tax, which is represented by x/100, added to 100% of the value, or 1.00. Altogether this gives us
395(0.85)(1+x/100) = 395(0.85 + (0.85x/100)) = 395(0.85) + 395(0.85x/100)
= 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x)
B) works; we have 250+145 for the original price; we have 85% = 0.85 of the value; we also have 100% + x%, which is (100+x)/100.
C) does not work; (0.85+x/100)(395) does not take into consideration that you are finding the tax after taking the 85%. This will simplify out to
0.85*395 + (x/100)(395) = 335.75 + 395x/100 = 335.75 + 3.95x, which is too much.
D) works; simplifying the expression from A, we have 395(0.85) + 395(0.0085x) = 335.75 + 3.3575x.

Answer:
System of equations:
20x + 30y = 650
x + y = 25
Time underwater = 10 hours
Time at the surface = 15 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = time underwater at 20 km/h.
Let y = time on the surface at 30 km/h.
speed = distance/time
distance = speed * time
distance underwater: 20x
distance on the surface: 30y
total distance: 650
20x + 30y = 650
total time: x + y
total time: 25
x + y = 25
20x + 30y = 650
x + y = 25
20x + 30y = 650
-20x - 20y = -500
--------------------------------
10y = 150
y = 15
x + y = 25
x + 15 = 25
x = 10
