Answer: C.
T=15d+(r)/(4)+2h

Explanation:

Let d = days, r = raffle tickets, and h = hours.

Given: A student earns in a day = $15

Then his earning in d days =$15d

Also, he earns for each riffle = $0.25

Then his earning in for r riffles =$0.25r

And , he earns for each hour he works at the game = $2

Then his earning for h hours = $2h

Then the function he can use to calculate his earnings is given by :_


T=15d+0.25r+2h\\\\\Rightarrow\ T=15d+(1)/(4)r+2h
