Question

Lindas aunt zoe charges her a nominal amount for watching her two children aunt zoe charges $2.50 per day plus $1.75 per hour one day linda paid her aunt $14.75 how many hours did aunt zoe watch the children

Answer 1

7 hours

Explanation:

the function of the earning of Zoe = 2.50 + 1.75h

2.5 = base fixed amount

1.75 varies based on the hours

h = hours

2.50 + 1.75h = 14.75

to solve for h

subtract 2.5 from both sides and then divide by 1.75

14.75 - 2.5 = 1.75h

12.25 = 1.75h

h = 7
