Susan earned $1 babysitting Wednesday, $3 babysitting on Thursday, and $5 babysitting Friday.

If this pattern continues, how much will she earn on Saturday?

1 answer

The pattern of Susan's earnings for babysitting appears to be increasing by $2 each day.

  • On Wednesday, she earned $1.
  • On Thursday, she earned $3.
  • On Friday, she earned $5.

Continuing this pattern:

  • Saturday's earnings would be \(5 + 2 = 7\) dollars.

Therefore, Susan will earn $7 on Saturday.
