Question

You charge $2 per evening plus $5 per hour to babysit and you only charge for whole hours. You have a goal to earn at least $121 for 8 evenings of babysitting. What is the least amount of hours in total you need to babysit for the evenings?

Answer 1

8 hours

Explanation:

Answer 2

21 hours

Explanation:

8 evenings x $2 per evening = $16

$121 - $16 = $105

$105 / $5 per hour = 21 hours

to check:

21 hours x $5 per hour = $105

8 evenings x $2 per evening = $16

$105 + $16 = $121
