A student gets paid to sell raffle tickets at the school basketball game. He earns $15 a day, plus an extra $0.25 for each raffle ticket he sells and $2 for each hour he works at the game. If d = days, r = raffle tickets, and h = hours, what function can he use to calculate his earnings?
answers are
T =d/15 + r/4 + 2/h
T= 15/d + 4/r + 2/h
T= 15d + r/4 + 2h
T= 15d + 25r + 2h

Am I on the right track with it?

The problem with D:T= 15d + 25r + 2h

25r? That infers that he will get $25 a raffle ticket. That is not the right choice.
