Answer:  The answers are given below.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Jimmy works part-time at Walmart earning $11 per hour. He is allowed to work anywhere between 0 to 30  hours per week.

His only expense is $8 per week for an unlimited bus pass. The following function represents his weekly earnings for h hours :

[tex]E(h)=11h-8~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]

We are to

(A) evaluate E(10) and interpret the meaning in context of the problem.

(B) evaluate E(15) and interpret the meaning in context of the problem.

(C) interpret the statement E(10) < E(15) .

(A) The value of E(10), can be calculated using equation (i), as follows :

[tex]E(10)=11\times10-8=110-8=102.[/tex]

This means Jimmy earns $102 if he works for 10 hours per week.

(B) The value of E(15), can be calculated using equation (i), as follows :

[tex]E(15)=11\times15-8=165-8=157.[/tex]

This means Jimmy earns $157 if he works for 15 hours per week.

(C) We can see that E(10) < E(15).

This means that Jimmy earns less if he works for 10 hours per week than that he earns if we working 15 hours per week.

Thus, all the three parts are answered.
