Answer: C

Explanation:

My answer is correct because, if Sadie gets 50 per week then we can just multiply it by 10 and that equals 500. But since we have 75 dollars already we cant multilpy it by 11 but if we times it by 10.5 that equals 525 and if we add 75 dollars that equals 600. but since we get the money every week we have to round that and that would equal 11 weeks.
