Option C is the correct answer.

C.  5•(-20)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the insurance payment for the car follows a certain pattern that can be represented through an expression. The payment is decreasing by $20 every year. As we don't know the total payment amount per period, so we cannot calculate how much is paid per period/year for insurance but we can calculate the rate at which this payment is decreasing.

Change in payment = t * (-20)

The above expressions can be used to calculate the amount of change in payment i payment is decreasing by a constant $20 every year, after t years.

So, if we want to calculate the change in payment after say 5 years, we can replace t with 5 in the equation and calculate the change,

Change in payment = 5 * (-20)

Change in payment = - $100

only 10/60 isn't equivalent

hope this : )
