To compute Raquel's wage for each yard she mows, we need to find out how much she earns per yard. She makes $75 for mowing 8 yards.

To find her earnings per yard, we can set up the equation:

\[ \text{Earnings per yard} = \frac{\text{Total earnings}}{\text{Number of yards}} \]

Substituting in the values:

\[ \text{Earnings per yard} = \frac{75}{8} \]

In the context of the provided responses, we can represent her wage for each yard (let's denote it as \(x\)) using the equation:

\[ \frac{75}{8} = \frac{x}{1} \]

Thus, the correct response from the given options is:

\(758 = x\)

This means that \(x = \frac{75}{8}\), which represents her wage per yard.
