Question

Charmaine works mowing lawns and babysitting. She earns $8.80 an hour for mowing and $8.10 an hour for babysitting. How much will she earn for 6 hours of mowing and 1 hour of babysitting?

Answer 1

Charmaine earns $60.90 for 6h for mowing and 1h for babysitting.

Explanation:

We must write the data problems.

Charmaine = $8.80/h mowing

Charmaine = $8.10/h babysitting

How much will Charmaine earn for 6 h mowing and 1 h babysitting?

1 h mowing ....................... $8.80

6 h mowing ....................... $x

x = 6 h mowing * $8.80

x = $52,8

To find the total earn of Charmaine, we have to gather the earns from mowing and babysitting.

$52,8 (from mowing) + $8.10 (from babysitting) = $60.90
