Answer:

B, C, G

Explanation:

If we look at the graph, it shows that if an employee works for 5 hours, then they will earn $36.25.

We can take 36.25 and divide that by 5 to get the hourly wage.

36.25 ÷ 5 = 7.25

We now know that employees get $7.25 every hour.

Using this we can look back to the graph.

'A' says that if an employee does not work, they will earn $7.25.

We know that this is wrong because if you do not work, then you do not earn money.

Let's look at 'B'.

If employees work for one hour, they will earn $7.25

We know this is correct because we now know the hourly wage.

Let's look at 'C'

If employees work for 4 hours, then they will get a revenue of $29.

We can figure this out by using this equation.

number of hours × hourly wage = total payment

4 × 7.25 = 29

Then this means that this is correct.

Let's look at 'D'

It says that if employees work for 10 hours, they will earn $73

Let's use that same equation again.

10 × 7.25 = 72.5

Employees earn $72.5 for working 10 hours, not $73.

So, this is obviously incorrect.

Let's look at 'E'

It says that if employees work for 3.5 hours, they will get a revenue of $21.75.

3.5 × 7.25 = 25.375

Therefore, this is incorrect.

Now let's take a look at 'F'.

It says that if employees work for 7.25 hours, then they earn $1.

This is incorrect.

And lastly, 'G'.

We know that if you do not work, then you do not earn money.

Therefore, A, B and G are the correct answers.
