Let's call the amount Jerrell made on Friday night "x".

We know that Jerrell made $7 less on Friday than he did on Saturday, so we can set up an equation:

x + $7 = $24

Now we can solve for x by subtracting $7 from both sides of the equation:

x = $17

Therefore, Jerrell made $17 babysitting on Friday night.
