The true statement regarding the plans for achieving the goal is c. Both plans will work for achieving the goal. Let's go through both plans. Plan A: If you spend 8 weeks by working 9 hours per week at $7.20 per hour, you will earn: 8 * 9 * $7.20 = $518.40. Since $518.40 is bigger than $450, plan A will work. Plan B: If you spend 6 weeks by working 15 hours per week at $6.50 per hour, you will earn: 6 * 15 * $6.50 = $585.00. Since $585.00 is bigger than $450, plan B will work, too. Thus, both plans will work for achieving the goal.
