Question

When Josh babysits, he charges a flat fee of $14 plus an

hourly rate of $9. How long would Josh need to babysit if he
wants to earn $86 in one night?

Answer 1

8

Explanation

86-14=72 this is the hourly rate before the flat fee is added on. Now you have to divide $72 by $9 to see how many hours josh needs to work. Josh gets paid $9 an hour so he needs to work for 8 hours in order to get $72. Then add the flat fee of 14 and you get $86
