Answer:

The literary magazine must pay $ 10 if poem is written by Gil, $ 20 if poem is written by Holly and $ 30 if poem is written by Ivan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wage indicate the amount of money earned in hour for production of poems. If a literary magazine needs just one poem, then the cost will be the wage multiplied by time taken for the creation of the poem. There are three possibilities:

Gil

[tex]C = \left(10\,\frac{USD}{h})\cdot (1\,h)[/tex]

[tex]C = 10\,USD[/tex]

Holly

[tex]C = \left(10\,\frac{USD}{h}\right)\cdot (2\,h)[/tex]

[tex]C = 20\,USD[/tex]

Ivan

[tex]C = \left(10\,\frac{USD}{h}\right)\cdot (3\,h)[/tex]

[tex]C = 30\,USD[/tex]

The literary magazine must pay $ 10 if poem is written by Gil, $ 20 if poem is written by Holly and $ 30 if poem is written by Ivan.
