Answer 2

$9.48

Explanation:

The total amount for the order is

$9.75+$29.99+ $15.00=$54.74

let the money her mother owes her be x

so summing all the amount plus the balance given to her must equal $54.74

so x+40+5.26=54.74

solving fo x we have

x+45.26=54.74

make x subject of formula we habe

x=54.74-45.26

x=9.48

Nicoles mother owe Her $9.48for babysitting
