Answer 1

To determine the amount of money paid to Monte's employees this month, the two necessary quantities are:

A. the hourly salary of each employee
C. the number of hours each employee worked this month

These two pieces of information will allow you to calculate the total wages paid to the employees. You would multiply each employee's hourly wage by the number of hours they worked to find their individual payments, and then sum those amounts to get the total payment for the month.
