Question

Tiffany babysits to earn extra money. She charges a fee of $15 per hour for one child, and then an added $30 overall for each additional child. If she wants to make a total of $150 this week, babysitting a family with 4 children, what is the minimum number of hours she can work for?

Answer 1

Answer: Minimum for $150: 2 Hours

Step-by-step explanation: First, Tiffany charges $30 per additional child. If she babysits for 4 children, you do 30 x 4, which is equal to 120. That would be the cost for the children. Now, if she charges $15 PER HOUR, then you just add up $15 + $15, which is $30, and you add that $30 to the $120. Which is $150. There you have it. If this is wrong, correct me please!
