Answer 1

Answer:

$\mathsf{x=\dfrac{35}{2}}$  or  $\mathsf{x=17.5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Babysitting rate = $6.50 per hour
• Weekly income = $113.75

Let x = number of hours worked

⇒ 6.5x = 113.75

$\implies \mathsf{x=\dfrac{113.75}{6.5}}$

$\implies \mathsf{x=\dfrac{35}{2}}$

$\implies \mathsf{x=17.5}$
