Leticia charges $8 per hour to baby sit she babysat Friday night for 4 hours and then she babysat again on Saturday she earned a total of $72 how many hours did leticia babysit on Saturday

Answer 1

Leticia worked 5 hours on Saturday

The equation here could be as followed:

8(4+x) = 72

1. Figure how much money she made on Friday (4*8=32)

2. Since she only earned 32 dollars on Friday. The rest was earned on Saturday (72-32=40)

3.She earned 40 dollars on Saturday for 8 dollars an hour, so now you divide 40 by 8 and you get 5. She worked 5 hours on Saturday.
