Total amount of  money made will sum of

transportation fees and money charged for t hours of baby siting

fees of t hours babysitting = fees of 1 hour babysitting*t

fees of t hours babysitting = 5.50t

Total amount of  money made =  fees of t hours babysitting + transportation fees of back and forth to the house
