Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 rate per year,

Then solve the equation for A

A = P(1 + r/n)nt

A = 1,950.00(1 + 0.08/2)(2)(4)

A = 1,950.00(1 + 0.04)(8)

A = $2,668.71

we know that

Erika earns $\$9$ per hour

so

By proportion

Find how much she earn during the total hours of two weeks

The total hours of two weeks is equal to

$14+20=34\ hours$

$\frac{9}{1} \frac{\$}{hour} =\frac{x}{34} \frac{\$}{hours} \\ \\x=34*9 \\ \\x=\$306$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$\$306$
