Question

Multistep sandy charges each family that she babysits a flat fee of $10 for the night and an extra $5 per child.kimmi charges $25 per night no matter how many children a family has write a equation that compare the two girls also is the fees are the same how many children a family have to have in order to be the same

Answer 1

Sandy: 10x + 5
Kimmi: 25x

If we want to know when the fees will be the same, we set the equations equal to each other and solve for x:
10x + 5 = 25x
5 = 15x
x = 3
So the number of children has to be 3.
