Question

If you earn 25$ babysitting for 3 hours. How much wold I earn in 7 hours?

Answer 1

Answer: $58.33 (Rounded bc it ends up in becoming a decimal)

Explanation: Let's make an equation for this problem. We know that if she works 3 hours for $25, 3*2=6 with 1 hour leftover. We can substitute those 6 hours for 2 sets of the 3 hours, giving us $50 so far. For the last hour, we have to divide 25 by 3 because it's only 1 hour instead of 3, meaning she'll get paid a third of the original pay rate. 25/3 equals 8.33333333334, so we'll just round that to 8.33, since it's cash. 50+8.33=$58.33. So, you'd earn 58 dollars and 33 cents for working for 7 hours.
