The correct Answer is:
To find the contrapositive of the statement "If you will work, you will earn money," we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the components of the statement The statement can be represented in the form of an implication: - Let \( p \) be "you will work." - Let \( q \) be "you will earn money." So, the statement can be written as: \[ p \implies q \] ### Step 2: Write the contrapositive The contrapositive of an implication \( p \implies q \) is given by: \[ \neg q \implies \neg p \] where \( \neg \) denotes negation. ### Step 3: Negate both parts Now, we need to negate both \( q \) and \( p \): - \( \neg q \): "You will not earn money." - \( \neg p \): "You will not work." ### Step 4: Formulate the contrapositive statement Putting it all together, the contrapositive statement becomes: "If you do not earn money, then you will not work." ### Final Answer Thus, the contrapositive of the statement "If you will work, you will earn money" is: **"If you do not earn money, then you will not work."** ---
