Correct Answer: A
Rationale

Choice A is correct. It’s given that Tilly earns p dollars for every w hours of work. This can be represented by the proportion pw. The amount of money, x, Tilly earns for 39w hours of work can be found by setting up the proportion pw=x39w. This can be rewritten as 39pw=xw. Dividing both sides by w results in x=39p

Choice B is incorrect. This is the amount of money Tilly earns in dollars per hour, not the amount of money Tilly earns for 39w hours of work.

Choice C is incorrect. This is the amount of money Tilly earns for w hours of work plus 39, not the amount of money Tilly earns for 39w hours of work.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the amount of money Tilly earns for w hours of work minus 39, not the amount of money Tilly earns for 39w hours of work.
