Answer:

120 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the new cost is 144 pounds and this is 20% more,  this is 120% of the original price. Remember 100+20 = 120. To find the original price set up a proportion with these values:

\frac{144}{x}=\frac{120}{100}

Solve for the original price by cross multiplying numerator with denominator.

x(120) = 144(100)

120x = 14400

x= 120 pounds

Caroline babysat for two families - the Nelsons and the Smiths. Use the info below to compare her earnings.
Ket [755]

Answer:

She earns $6.50 from the Smiths which is 25 cents more than she earns at the Nelsons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must find the hourly rate she earns at the Smiths.  This will allow you to compare to the hourly rate that is given for the Nelsons.  To find the Smiths hourly rate divide $39 by the 6 hours she babysat there.  This will have the hourly rate.  39/6=6.5.  This means she earns $6.50 an hour for the Smiths.  When comparing the rates it is clear that she earned 25 cents more at the Smiths.
