Answer:

D.No, because the total earned is $1255.70 per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Essentially if your cost is 1543 a month, you simply wouldn't be able to afford it.

If you plug in 7.25 and 40 (you get 290) . With this information we plug it into weeks. In a month there are approximately 4.345 weeks (you can just times 290 by

4.34) which gives the stated result in the answer choice.

A person would not be able to live here and cover other expenses if they worked 7.25 for 40 hours!
