A step function consisting of:

Y values that go from 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350 (Money Earned)
X values go from 0, 1,2 ,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 all to 16,
The points connect on the coordinate plane:
First pair is (0,50) open circle and connects with solid line to (3,50) closed circle
Second pair (3,100) open circle and connects with dashed line to(6,100) closed circle
Third pair (6,150) open circle and connects with dashed line to (9,150) closed circle.

To determine how much money Mini Motorbikes & More will make from selling nine tickets, we can refer to the step function you described.

From the information provided:

The first pair is $ (0, 50) $ open circle and connects with a solid line to $ (3, 50) $ closed circle. This indicates that for 0-3 tickets sold, they make $50.
The second pair is $ (3, 100) $ open circle, connected with a dashed line to $ (6, 100) $ closed circle. This means that for 3-6 tickets sold, they make $100.
The third pair is $ (6, 150) $ open circle, connected with a dashed line to $ (9, 150) $ closed circle. Hence, for 6-9 tickets sold, they make $150.

Since 9 tickets fall within the range of 6-9, we can conclude that they will earn $150 if they sell nine tickets.

Therefore, the answer is C. $150.
