Question

You charge $2 plus .50 per child for every hour you babysit. You earn $3.50 an hour when you watch the Crandell children. How many children are in this family?

Answer 1

3 children

Answer 2

There are three children in this family because along with the two dollars earned every hour, there is $1.50 extra. $1.50 divided by $0.50 is three.

Answer 3

one child is .50 so .50+.50 =1.00 add it to 2.00 which you charge before you baby sit it equals 3.00$ but you earned 3.50$ so you add another .50 which is another child and it equals 3.50$ so thus your answer would be 3 children
