C. What is y, the total number of quarters in x dollars?
D.What is y, the length of a side of a square with perimeter x?

anonymous · Answer

The equation defines the variable y is one quarter of x. 
A square has 4 sides of equal length and the perimeter of a square is the sum of all 4 sides. Thus the length of each side is a quarter of the length of the perimeter.
So, the answer is D
