Nadia charges $6.50 an hour for babysitting. She babysits 16.50 hours the first week of the month and 22 hours the second week of the month.

Suppose Nadia raises her rate by $0.65 an hour. How many hours would she need to work to earn the same amount of money she made in the first two weeks of the month?

Answer :

She would need to work for 35 hours.

She earned $250.25 total the first two weeks, so divide that by the new rate per hour, $7.15, to get the 35 hours.
