Brenda’s best friend is having a destination wedding, and the event will last three days. Brenda has $500 in savings and can earn $15 an hour babysitting. She expects to pay $350 airfare, $375 for food and entertainment, and $60 per night for her share of a hotel room (for three nights). How many hours must she babysit to have enough money to pay for the trip? Write the answer in interval notation.

She must babysit for 27 hours.

60 x 3 = 180 (3 nights)
350 (Airfare)
+375 (food)
-------
905
- 500 (Savings)
-------
405 / 15 = 27 hours needed
(An hour)
