Question

Anne earned $3 an hour babysitting, and $4 an hour working in the garden. last week she did baby-sitting for 5 hours and garden work for 3 hours. how much more money does she need to buy a game that costs $35?

Answer 1

Anne earns $3/h babysitting and $4/h gardening
she baby sitted for 5 hours and earned 5 x 3 = $15
she gardened for 3 hours and earned 3 x 3=$9
total earned = 15+9=$24
to buy a game costing $35 she needs 35-24=$11 more dollars.
