Marisa's paycheck

Question

When Marisa babysits, she charges $5 per hour for the first 4 hours, and then $8 per hour for every additional hour. How many hours did she work if she earned $44?

Answer 1

5 per hour for 4 hours= 20 dollars    in 4 hours

 

44 - 20 = 24 dollars

 

24 dollars /8 dollars per hour = 3 hours

 

Therefore total 4 + 3 = 7 hours

i hope this helps you
