For each hour he babysits, Anderson earns $1 more than half of Carey’s hourly rate. Anderson earns $6 per hour. Which equation can be used to solve for Carey’s hourly rate, c?

Verified Answer :

Carey earns c hourly
Anderson earns $6 hourly which is also 1+ c/2So, 6=1+c/2      12=2+cc=$10
Carey earns $10 hourly

Answer:

[6 = 1 + \(\frac{C}{2}\)]

Step-by-step explanation:

For each hour Anderson babysits, He earns $1.00 more than half of Carey's hourly rate.

Let Carey's hourly rate is $C

then Anderson's earnings = 1 + \(\frac{C}{2}\)

Since Anderson's earning is $6.00 per hour

so equation will be 6 = 1 + \(\frac{C}{2}\)

Therefore, Carey's earning can be calculated by the equation

[6 = 1 + \(\frac{C}{2}\)]
