A. a coefficient would be 75 or 8. The variables d and w as the constant is 25.

B. 75d+8w+25
75(5)+8(48)+25
375+384+25
400+384
784

Javier earns $784

C. If Javier gets an increase in his stipend and receives $40 for snacks, the constant in the equation would change because The coefficients are affected by the amount of days or windows he worked/installed while the constant before, of $25, is non-related to the work due to the fact that its used for snacks. And since his stipend for snack increases, only the constant changes.
