Question

You earn $9 per hour babysitting. This is $2 more than what you earned per hour last year. What did you earn last year?

Answer 1

$7 is the correct answer for *per hour*, as 9-2=7. Notice how it says how much did you earn last year, implying total earned. How many hours did you work last year?

Answer 2

Last year you earned $7 per hour, because 9 - 2 = 7.

Answer: $7 per hour
