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?
Let’s work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answer.
15
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.

.

Therefore, the answer is 15
