The difference between 100 and 75 is 25.
20x + 15y = 2000
x + y = 115
55+60=115
20 (55) + 15 (60)=2000
1100+900=2000
2000=2000
As there are multiple answers going with trial and error seems good in this case.
A
5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 20.00
3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 31.5
20.00 + 31.5 = 51.5
B
5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 20.00
3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 35.00
20.00 + 35.00 = 55.00
C
5.00 + 5.00 + 5.00 = 15.00
3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 + 3.50 = 31.5
15.00 + 31.5 =46.5
Knowing that for the first one all A,B, and C were wrong we can determine that D is the answer. But wait if I made one mistake and didn't understand if $156.5 is equivalent to $156.50 that would mean A is correct.
Always recheck your answers and good luck,

Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Verticle angles are always congruent, so:
(8x + 15) = 143
Now, we can solve to isolate x:
8x + 15 - 15 = 143 - 15 (subtract 15 from both sides)
8x/8 = 128/8 (divide both sides by 8)
x = 16
You can always plug in the value of x to the original equation to check your answer:
8(16) + 15 = 143
