the number of hours that Sue Ellen spent sewing Louise's quilt?
A: 45h - 20 = 165
B: 45h + 20 = 165
с: 20h - 45 = 165
D: 20h + 45 = 165

Answer 1

D: 20h + 45 = 165

Explanation:

20 for EACH hour means that there's a variable (h) attached to 20 so it has to be 20h

Because of that, we can eliminate choices A and B.

Charges mean that it's ADDED to the price so it has to be 45 PLUS 20h

20h + 45 = 165
