Given:

Babysitting =$11/hours

Tutoring=$17/hours

Total work hours is=12 hours

Minimum many earn=$150

Work 2 houre for babysitting

so money earn is:


\begin{gathered} \text{earn amount =2}*11 \\ =22 \end{gathered}

Earn amount is $ 22

then required amount is:


\begin{gathered} \text{required amount =150-22} \\ =128 \end{gathered}

so tutoring time for reuired amount is:


\begin{gathered} tutoring\text{ time=}(128)/(17) \\ =7.52 \end{gathered}

so 7.52 hours is tutoring time and 2 hours babysitting then it 9.52 hours achieved minimum earn amount

so minimum hours for tutoring is 7.52 hours.
