h(t)= (p - 0.25(c))/10 number of hours she works is the money she earns in that week minus the number of calls she answered multiplied by 0.25 all that divided by 10
h(t)= 115 - 0.25(60)/10
h(t)= 115 - 15 /10
h(t)= 100/10
h(t)= 10
h(t) represents number of hours she worked
p represents the total amount she earned
0.25(c) represents the money she earns in respect to number of calls she answers represented by the letter c.

h = hrs she worked
p = phone calls she answered

h x 10 + p x .25 = maggies earnings

Part A
h x 10 + 60 x .25 = 115

Part B
h x 10 + 15 = 115 (multiplied 60 x .25)
h x10 = 100 (subtracted 15 from each side of the equation)
h = 10 (divided 10 into each side)

Part C
10 hrs

Hope this helps
