At a certain company, each employee has a salary grade s that is at least 1 and at most 5. Each employee receives an hourly wage p, in dollars, determined by the formula p = 9.50 + 0.25(s – 1). An employee with a salary grade of 5 receives how many more dollars per hour than an employee with a salary grade of 1?
A. $0.50
B. $1.00
C. $1.25
D. $1.50
E. $1.75


My answer was B, but the OA is C. I don't understand how it can be though....

well, i can't really say it is a a very dependable source.... but it is from some GMAT problem sets I downloaded from the Internet. I don't really know who created those sets.

Yeah, the answer is obviously (B).

Yes I also get the answer as B while the answer sheet says C
I also downloaded the sets from internet...
I am starting to have doubts on the correctness of the answer sheet.

I found 2-3 answers as dubious in the one which I gave ...
