Question

linda currently charges $6.25 per hour to babysit she is thinking bout raising her rate to $7.00 per hour. linda needs to earn $500 jow many fewer hours will she need to work if she increases her rate (round to the nearest quarter rate)

Answer 1

to figure the difference in time, calculate the number of hours she would have to work at each rate and subtract the two.
$500=X1 Hours * $6.25/hour
$500=X2 hours * $7.00/hour

by figuring hours as your units, and multiplying by a value with the units $/hour, the hours cancel out and you should get $.

You can take these equations and divide both sides by the $/Hour number to get the following equation:
$500/(6.25 $/hour) = X1 hours
Hope this helps.
