Frankie earns $5 each time he babysits his little sister. He has saved $30. Frankie wants to save $52 to buy a new skateboard. Write and solve an equation to find how many more times Frankie will need to babysit.

Frankie will need to babysit for 4.4 time.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Money earned by Frankie each times he babysits = $5

Money saved = $30

Total money Frankie wants to save for a skateboard = $52

Amount of money to be saved =

Total amount of money Frankie wants to save for a skateboard - Money saved already

He needs to save $22 more.

Let x be the number of times Frankie will need to babysit.

Thus, we can write the equation:

Thus, Frankie will need to babysit for 4.4 time.
