Answer 1

One second, I have to think and grab my math book......

Answer 2

25% * 12.50 = 3.125

3.125 + 12.50 = 15.625

Which option equals 15.625? @MeganRan2002

Answer 3

In short, the average babysitting rate is typically around $8 - $12 per hour but babysitting wages can vary widely anywhere from as little as $4 per hour all the way up to $18 per hour or more! Why such a wide range? The reason is what rate to pay a babysitter depends on many factors, the most critical of which are location, experience, number of children, and any other additional requirements from parents.

Answer 4

is it A because i divided the numerator from the denominator and got 1.25 and then i multiplied $12.50 to 1.25 and got 15.625.
