The correct answer is: [C]: " p = 6.25 h " .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
It is clear that "pay" is a function of "hours worked" ;
So, we can eliminate: "Choice [B]: " h = <span>6.25p" .
______________________________________________________
Try, Choice [A]: " </span>p = h + 12.5 " ; and 14.50 ≠ 12.50 ; (12.50 is the amount shown in the table. So, we can already eliminate "Choice [A]".
<span>_____________________________________________
Now that we have eliminated choices [A] and [B];
we are left with choices: [C] and [D]:
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [C]: " </span><span>p = 6.25h " ;
</span> when "h = 2" ; does: "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)?? ;
i.e. " 12.5 =? 6.25 * (2) ?? Yes! This choice is a POSSIBILITY.
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [D]: " p = 12.5h" .
When "h = 2, does "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)? No!
→ We can see from this very answer choice
(the equation itself) that when "h = 2" ;
the value of "p" is DOUBLE [that of "12.5"].

The correct answer is: Answer choice: [C]: " <span>p = 6.25 h " .

Hi!
C. v + 15
Barry read for 15 MORE minutes than Robert.
The answer I think is 2. 150/7 is 21 R 3. 296/7 is 42 R 2.
<span>We write the equation in the standard form which is:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
(x + 15)(x) = 100
x^2 + 15x - 100 = 0
(x + 20) (x-5) = 0
The solutions are
x = -20 and x = 5
Therefore, the correct answer is option B. </span><span>The solution x = 5 should be kept, but x = –20 is unreasonable.</span><span>
