Amy earned $25 after babysitting for 3 hours. If she always charges the same rate, how much will she make after working for 7 hours?

Answer:

About 60-65$

Explanation:

Because every 3 hours she gets $25 and she worked 7 hours so there's 6 in 7 hours so 25+25 is 50 and the other hour would be half of 25 so 12.5 so between 60-65. Im so sorry if its wrong hope it worked tho! <3

Answer:

$58.33

Explanation:

Set up a proportion where x is the amount she makes for 7 hours:


(3)/(25) =
(7)/(x)

Cross multiply and solve for x:

3x = 175

x = 58.33

So, after working for 7 hours, she will make $58.33
