No. of $ earned = 6.25 hour

i.e. (C) y = 6.25 x

duuhh!!!

it has to be C

because it says "if y represents total..." then that means y is the overall, the total (its like 1 and 1 totals to 2 like 1+1=2)

also, x is the number of hours and $6.25 is money you earn PER hour ( so if you work, let say, 2 hours, then that means x is 2. this means that $6.25 times x, which is 2, is something $12.50 and $12.50 would be y, the total)

total earnings / number of hours worked = rate per hour

So

total earnings = rate per hour times number of hours worked

y = 6.25 x
