Let's calculate how much each person makes.
Member A: 8 hours/week $6.15/hour. 8*6.15 = $49.2/week 5 weeks = $246, so not enough
Member B: 10 hours/week $5.85/hour. 105.85 = $58.5/week * 5 weeks = $292.5, that's enough
Member C: 7 hours/week $7.25/hour. 7*7.25 = $50.75/week 5 weeks = $253.75, so not enough
Member D: 9 hours/week $6.35/hour. 96.35 = $57.15/week * 5 weeks = $285.75, barely enough

So after doing the calculations, we see that members B and D will have enough money after 5 weeks
