Is it SV squared? Or times 2
Profit (P) is calculated by subtracting the total cost (C) from the total revenue (R). The calculations are shown below,
R = (1440 dozens) x (12 pieces / 1 dozen) x (25 cents/ piece) = $4320
C = (1440 dozens) x ($2.50 / dozen) = $3600
Profit = R - C = $4320 - $3600 = $720
Thus, the businessman's profit is $720.
A. Because you would have to find the common denominator, which in this case is 24. You would change 2 1/3 to 2 8/24, 1 1/8 to 1 3/24 and 1 3/4 to 1 18/24. Add these all up and you get 5 5/24.
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 " .
