Question

Han earns $33.00 for babysitting 4 hours. At this rate, how much will he earn if he

Answer 1

First you do $33.00/4 to get $8.25. Take the 8.25 and multiply it by 7 to get $57.75

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to find the unit rate, or how much Han earns per hour

You can do this by setting up an equation

x= amount earned per hour

4x= 33          Initial equation

4x/4 = 33/4   Isolating the variable

x = 33/4 = 8 1/4 = 8.25    The unit rate

Now you want to set up a new equation to find out how much he makes for 7 hours

x= amount earned per hour

y = total amount earned

y = 7x    Initial equation

y = 7 ( 8.25)   Substitution

y = 57.75  The answer

Han earns $57.75 for every 7 hours

Checking the answer....

y = 7x

57.75 = 7x    Substitute y instead

57.75/7 = 7x/7

8.25 = x

Your answer should be correct

Hope this helps!!!
