grace will receive 50 plus 5 per child for babysitting this afternoon she is hoping to make at least 63 to buy a new video game tonight how many children does she need to babysit

Answer 1

Let the number of children she needs to babysit be x.
The total amount Grace will receive for babysitting x children is 50 + 5x.
According to the question, she needs to make at least 63.
So, 50 + 5x ≥ 63.
Subtracting 50 from both sides, we get:
5x ≥ 63 - 50
5x ≥ 13
Dividing both sides by 5, we get:
x ≥ 13/5
x ≥ 2.6
Since she cannot babysit a fraction of a child, she needs to babysit at least 3 children to make at least 63.
