Answer: b.
Work rate = $225/25 = $9 per hour. She currently saves $25/week = $375 in 15 weeks, so she needs an extra $600−$375 = $225. That requires $225/15 = $15 more per week, which at $9/hour is 15/9 = 1.666... hours extra. So she must work at least 2 extra hours, i.e. 25+2 = 27 hours/week (27–30 hours would also work; 25 hours is not enough).
