Question

Rosa earns $200 a month delivering newspapers, plus an average of $11 per hour babysitting. If her goal is to earn at least 295 this month, how many hours will she have to babysit?

Answer 1

So she only needs to earn $95 by babysitting because she already has $200 from delivering papers. 95 (remainder she needs to make) divided by 11 (average amount per hour she makes babysitting) is about 8.6363. This can probably be rounded farther to be ***8.6 hours of babysitting*** to make her $95
