You earn $72 for every 8 hours you spend shoveling snow. You earn $60 for every 5 hours you spend babysitting. For every 3 hours you spend babysitting, you spend 2 hours shoveling snow. You babysit for 15 hours in January. How much money do you earn in January?

Respuesta :

You earned $270

$72/8 = 9. 9•10=90

$60/5 = 12. 12•15=180

$180+$90= $270

Answer:

$270.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of house of babysitting and house is 3:2. If you change the 3 into a 15, you would have to change the 2 into a 10 because 3 x 5 = 15, so 2 x 5 = 10.

After you do those calculations you divide 15 by 5 and that is 3. You then multiply 60 by 3 = 180.

After that you have to divide 10 by 8 and you get 1.25. You then multiply 72 by 1.25 = 90.

Then you add 180 and 90 together to get $270.00
