Question

Louise charges $5 per hour for babysitting one child and $1.25 per hour for each additional child. How much would Louise charge to babysit 4 children for 6 hours?

Answer 1

Answer: $52.50

Explanation:

Since there are four children, to find the cost do the equation $5+(1.25x3)=8.75. That'll be the total for 1 hour for 4 kids. Now you have to multiply that equation by 6. (8.75x6) and that'll be the total. You'll get $52.50.
