The
rate of earning money for both activities will be calculated by dividing the
amount earned by the total time spent for each of the activity.
Babysitting:
rate = ($30 / 5 hours ) = $6 / hour
Doing
chores: rate = ($28 / 4 hours) = $7 / hour
Thus, Holly is able to earn money faster when doing the
chores compared to when she do the babysitting if she work for the same amount
of time for each.
Algebracicaly speaking the answer would be either -13.3876 or - 158.612 through the quadratic equation, but these answers don’t make sense in this real world scenario.
