Step-by-step explanation:

Hours worked = X

Money earned per hour = $8.75

Your answer would be A.

E.g.) Say that there is another part to this question.

You work for 3 hours, how much money would you earn after three hours? Use your equation "8.75x"

We know that "x" is equal to the hours worked, so plug in 3 for x.

8.75x = 8.75 *x

8.75 * 3= 26.25

So, if you worked 3 hours, your total pay would be $26.25 (Note: this is not part of your answer, just an example to show you how equations work)

Hope this helps :)
