Answer:3

Explanation:

Let Tamar did the job for x hours,

Since, her charges for 1 hour = $ 8,

⇒ Her charge for x hours = 8x,

Also, the bus fare = $ 6,

hence, her total charge = Bus fare + Her charges for x hours

= 6 + 8x,

If the total charge is at least $30,

⇒ 6 + 8x ≥ 30

⇒ 8x ≥ 24

⇒ x ≥ 3

Thus, the minimum number of hours for a babysitting job she would accept = 3 hours.
