Yves goes apple picking at an apple orchard. The apple orchard charges $8.50 per hour, during which a customer is allowed to pick as many apples as possible. If Yves picks approximately 50 apples per 1 hour, and he picks 75 apples at the orchard, approximately how much money can he expect the apple orchard to charge him?

A.$5.67
B.$8.50
C.$9.75
D.$12.75

答案和解析

答案：D

解析：

Choice D is correct. Since Yves picked 75 apples and picks approximately 50 apples per hour, it can be determined that he picked apples for 75/50=1.5 hours.

Because the apple orchard charges $8.50 per hour, Yves can expect to be charged $8.50*1.5=$12.75.

Yves can expect the apple orchard to charge him $12.75.
