The number of hours worked babysitting is 5
How to determine the time spent?
Let the number of hours be x.
The hourly rate is given as:
$8
So, the total earning is:
Total = 8x
When you go to their house, you earn extra $10
Total = 8x + 10
The total earning in a day is 50
So, we have:
8x + 10 = 50
Subtract 10 from both sides
8x = 40
Divide through by 8
x = 5
Hence, the number of hours worked babysitting is 5
