4. Liza wants to have more than $750 in her

savings account before she will leave for college.
Right now she has $300, and she is going to
babysit to earn $12.00 an hour. How
many
hours
will Liza need to babysit before she leaves for
college?

750 - 300 = 450

She needs to save $450 more.

$450 / $12 per hour = 37.5 hours

She needs to babysit 37.5 hours.
