A. 125x + 35 = 750; x = 5.75
B. 35x + 125 = 750; x = 18
C. 7.5x + 35 = 125; x = 12
D. 35−7.5x=125;x=6

the answer is C because $125 is the total needed minus the $35 he already has saved brings it down to $90 he still needs, divided by $7.50 an hour equals 12 hours he would need to work.

7.5x = 90
x = 12
