To calculate the earnings (p) for one server based on the hourly wage ($8) and the number of hours worked (h), the correct equation would be:
\[ p = 8h \]
This means the total earnings \( p \) is equal to the hourly wage ($8) multiplied by the number of hours worked (h).
None of the options exactly match this equation. However, the closest interpretation for the earnings calculation is:
**C**: \( p = 8h \) (if interpreted with correct formatting).
So, **C** is the best choice, though it appears to be written with an extra character that obscured clarity. If revised to correctly represent the equation, it should be \( p = 8h \).
