Question: Linda makes $10.00 an hour babysitting. There is a $25.00 application fee for each college application she submits. If she is applying to 6 colleges, how many hours will she need to babysit to cover the application fees? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The application fee is $25.00 per college and she is applying to 6 colleges so that's 25 * 6 = $150.00. She makes $10.00 an hour babysitting. Her application fees total $150.00 so she needs to work 150 / 10 = 15 hours to cover the cost. So the answer is 15.
