Let \(x\) represent the number of children Anthony watches. He earns \$8.00 per hour for babysitting, plus an additional \$1.50 per hour for each child.
Given that Anthony's total hourly rate is $12.50, we can write an equation:
\(8.00 + 1.50x = 12.50\)
So the equation in the form px + q = r to represent this problem is:
\(1.50x + 8.00 = 12.50\)
Anthony got a job babysitting. Each hour he works he will be paid $8.00. As a bonus, he will earn an additional $1.50 per hour for each child he watches. If his total hourly rate is \$ 12.5 how many children does he watch?
Write an equation in the form px + q = r to represent this problem.
