Question

Caroline babysits for 5 hours each week. She earns $6 per hour. At the end of the week she gives her mother $8. How much money does Caroline have left at the end of the week?

Answer 1

Answer:

$22 left over at the end of the week

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to set up an equation for this.

6x-8=y

x=how many hours she works per week, and y is the total amount of money she has at the end of the week...

1. We know she worked 5 hours that week, so we replace x with 5.
2. 6(5)-8
3. Multiply 6 by 5
4. 30-8=y
5. 30-8=22
6. Caroline has $22 left over at the end of the week
