Answer 1

78. Malika earns 7.20 dollars per hour for babysitting. She Baby Sit for 4 hours each week. Now, she had a total of 12 weeks of working => 7.20 * 4 hours = 28.8 dollars => 28.8 dollars * 12 = 345.6 dollars. She spent 10 dollars per week => 10 * 12 = 120 dollars => 345.6 – 120 = 225.6 dollars is the money that goes to her savings. Her grandparents put 0.25 times of her money she put on her savings. => 225.6 * .25 = 56.4 dollars => 225.6 + 56.4 = 282 dollars.
