To earn money for college, Avery works two part-time jobs: A and B. She earns $10 per hour working at job A and $20 per hour working at job B. In one week, Avery earned a total of s dollars for working at the two part-time jobs. The graph above represents all possible combinations of numbers of hours Avery could have worked at the two jobs to earn s dollars. What is the value of s ?

Choice B is correct. Avery earns $10 per hour working at job A. Therefore, if she works a hours at job A, she will earn \"10 dollars. Avery earns $20 per hour working at job B. Therefore, if she works b hours at job B, she will earn \"20 dollars. The graph shown represents all possible combinations of the number of hours Avery could have worked at the two jobs to earn s dollars. Therefore, if she worked a hours at job A, worked b hours at job B, and earned s dollars from both jobs, the following equation represents the graph: \"10, where s is a constant. Identifying any point \"with from the graph and substituting the values of the coordinates for a and b, respectively, in this equation yield the value of s. For example, the point \"with, where \"a, and \"b, lies on the graph. Substituting 16 for a and 0 for b in the equation \"10 yields \"10, or \"160. Similarly, the point \"with, where \"a, and \"b, lies on the graph. Substituting 0 for a and 8 for b in the equation \"10 yields \"10, or \"160.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect. If the value of s is 128, 200, or 320, then no points \"with on the graph will satisfy this equation. For example, if the value of s is 128 (choice A), then the equation \"10 becomes \"10. The point \"the, where \"a, and \"b, lies on the graph. However, substituting 16 for a and 0 for b in \"10 yields \"10, or \"160, which is false. Therefore, \"the doesn’t satisfy the equation, and so the value of s can’t be 128. Similarly, if \"s (choice C) or \"s (choice D), then substituting 16 for a and 0 for b yields \"160 and \"160, respectively, which are both false.
