Further explanation

Multiplication is a arithmetic operation such that two real numbers are performed in such a way that they derive a third number called product.

Procedure used:

The following steps are involved to find the value of $y\text{ unit}$ where $y$ is any real number.

1) If one unit is equal to $x$ then multiply $y$ with $x$.

2) The resultant number would be $xy$ is the value of $y\text{ unit}$.

Given:

Jenny charges $\ \ 9.15$ an hour to babysit toddlers and $\ \ 7.45$ an hour to babysit school-aged children. She babysat toddlers for $9\text{ hours}$ and school aged children for $6\text{ hours}$.

Step 1: Jenny earns through babysit toddlers.

If jenny charges $\ \ 9.15$ an hour to babysit toddlers and she does this job for $9\text{ hours}$.

The earning money from babysit toddlers using above procedure can be calculated as follows:

$\begin{aligned}a&=9.15\cdot 9\\&=82.35\end{aligned}$

Therefore, jenny earns $\ \ 82.35$ by babysit toddlers.

Step 2: Jenny earns through school aged children.

If jenny charges $\ \ 7.45$ an hour to babysit school aged children and she does this job for $6\text{ hours}$.

The earning money from babysit school aged children using above procedure can be calculated as follows:

$\begin{aligned}b&=7.45\cdot 6\\&=44.7\end{aligned}$  

Therefore, Jenny earns $\ \ 44.7$ by babysit school aged children.

Step 3: Total amount earn by Jenny.

The total earning is the sum of earning through babysit toddlers and babysit school aged children.
