Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the provided information.
Sandy charges each family that she babysits a flat fee of $10 for the night and an extra $5 per child.
Let x is the number of child, Sandy charges fixed fee of $10 and $5 for each child. Thus, the charges for one night is:
Kimmi charges $25 per night no matter how many children a family has. Thus, the charges for one night is:
Now we need to write an equation that would compare the two girls charges:
Thus, the required equation is .
Now we need to find how many children a family have in order to be the same charges.
For the same charges solve the equation as shown:
So, the number of children has to be 3 for same charge.
