.

Answer 1

5 kids

Explanation:

Given in the question,

amount charge per day = $25

amount spend on each child = $5

amount earn on each child = 25-5 = $20

Suppose total amount each day she need x

x(20) = 2000

x = 2000/20

x = $100

number of kids per day = total money each day / money on each child

= 100/20

= 5
