Steven earns extra money babysitting. he charges $31.25 for 5 hours and $50 for 8 hours. how much would steven charge for 3 hours?
me out on this!

$18.75

Step-by-step explanation:

This is kind of a trick question. Instead of giving you 1 example they give you two.

Basically, this question is trying to test your reading skills.

31.25 is being charged for 5 hours. So, how much is being charged in 1 hour?

well, dividing 31.25 by 5 brings us to the result of 6.25. Meaning 1 hour of babysitting costs $6.25

Now that we know the cost of 1 hour, we need to multiply this by 3.

6.25 x 3 = $18.75

we can also 'test' our answer to make sure it is correct by multiplying 6.25 by 8. (doing so is confirming 8 hours of work is $50 at $6.25 per hour)

hope this helpd!
