Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you need to know first how many weeks will take Richard replacing the money.

We will call X the number of weeks so we say

$85 * X =$950

X= 11.17

This means it will take at least ≈12 weeks to pay his debt.

To know which scenario it's not possible, use the equation to choose the right option.

A: $85*5= $425

After 5 weeks, he paid $425, this mean he's $525 in debt.

B: $85*6= $510

After 6 weeks, he paid $510, this means he's $440 in debt.

C. $85*7= $595

After 7 week,s he paid $595, this means he's $355 in debt.

D. $85*8= $680

After 7 weeks, he paid $680, this means he's $270 in debt.

The not possible scenario is B because he will be paying at least $85 or more so he will debt $440 or less al week 6.
