Answer 1

since she earns 25 a week from her paper route and there 4 week in a month we subtract 100 from 220 which leaves us with $120

Answer 2

To solve this problem all we need to do is find 6/11 (30/55) of 220. The reason for this is because 30+25 is her total weekly income. Therefore, 30/55 will the amount for babysitting. The answer you will get is $120. We get this by multiplying 120 by 6/11.
