The right answer is Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Pay for 8 hours = $64

Pay per delivery = $5

Let,

x represent the number of deliveries.

Total earned in one day = Pay for 8 hours + pay per delivery*number of deliveries

Total earned = 64 + 5x

If we put x = 14, we will multiply it and then add 64 to it.

Therefore,

Howard is right in his calculation.

The right answer is Option A.
