Answer 2

Answer:

$\ \huge{\text{(} \dfrac{x}{4} \ + \ \dfrac{4x}{4} \huge{\text{)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Last year: $x

Determining the money earned for this year:

This year = 25%   more than       last year

               = $25x/100   +                    $x

               = $x/4           +                 $4x/4

The expression that represents the money earned this year is $x/4 + $4x/4.
