Question

Teresa needs to save $25.50 to go to the movies this weekend. She currently has $3. If Teresa makes $7.50 an hour babysitting, how many hours does she need to babysit this week? *

Answer 1

Answer:she need to do at least 3 hours of babysitting.

Explanation:

you subtract how much she already has, 3$ from 25.50 and then you divide how much she makes in one hour of babysitting by how much money she needs so 22.50/7.50=3

Answer 2

Answer: Theresa needs to babysit for 3 hours

Explanation:

Given that theresa has $3 while she needs $25.50, and makes $7.50 per hour, find the number of hours she needs to work to make the balance she needs.

First, we find the difference between what she has and what she needs= $25.50 - $3

=$22.50

Then, to get the balance she needs, we divide $22.50 by $7.50

=22.50/7.50 = 3hours

Theresa needs to babysit for 3 hours
