Which statement is true:

a) Jill will make less money if they each work 4 hours.

b) Jill's hourly rate is $3 more than kara's.

c) Kara charges $14 and hour for babysitting two children.

d) Kara's fee for the second child is $5.

Answer:

(D)Kara's fee for the second child is $5.

Explanation:


\left|\begin{array}c$Time(hr)&$Jill: Cost for Two Children& $Kara: Cost for Two Children\\-----&------&-----\\1&11&14=9+5\\2&22&23=9(2)+5\\3&33&32=9(3)+5\end{array}\right|

From the table above,

Jill Charges an hourly rate of $11

Kara charges an hourly rate of $9 and an additional $5 charge for more than one child. Therefore, the statement that is true is Option D.

Kara's fee for the second child is $5.

All other options are incorrect.

Check

Option A: In four hours, Jill will make $44 while Kara will make $41

Option B: Jill's hourly rate is $2 more than Kara's, NOT $3.

Option C: Kara charges $9 an hour, NOT $14.
