Answer 1

To graph Sariyah's earnings based on her hourly wage and maximum working hours, we need to calculate her potential earnings.

Sariyah earns $8 per hour and can work up to 20 hours per week.

The maximum earnings for 20 hours per week would be:

\[
\text{Maximum Earnings} = 8 \text{ (dollars/hour)} \times 20 \text{ (hours)} = 160 \text{ dollars}
\]

Considering this information, the reasonable scale for the y-axis, which represents her earnings, should be able to accommodate her maximum earnings of $160.

Among the options provided, the most suitable choice is:

**0 to 200**

This scale comfortably includes her earnings range from $0 to a maximum of $160.
