Matt was babysitting for friend's parents Saturday morning and was paid an $10 per hour for 3 hours. Later that evening, he was baby sitting for another couple that paid him $20 per hour for 5 hours. What was Matt's average rate of pay per hour for the day?

$16.25 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

First babysitting pay :

$10 per hour

Duration = 3 hours

Earning = $10 * 3 = $30

Second babysitting pay:

$20 per hour

Duration = 5 hours

Earning = 20 * 5 = $100

Average rate of pay per hour for the day:

Total amount earned / total hours worked

$(30 + 100) / (3 + 5) hours

$130 / 8 hours

= $16. 25 per hour

step-by-step explanation: so we look at the formula un = a + (n-1)d

un is the amount of seats

n is the nth term aka row number

a is the original sequence/row number

d is the difference between each term

so in this a=22 d=6 and n can remain as n because we are simply formjng a rule

lets put these in the equation

un=22+(n-1)(6)

this is your answer to part a

however

lets double check that this is correct, we'll try putting it into the second term

un=a+(n-1)d

u2=22+(2-1)(6)

u2=22+6

u2=28

as the question said the second row has 28 seats so now we know the formula we made is correct.

as for part b

un=a+(n-1)

its asking us to find a row with 100 seats.

remember un was the amount of seata so all we do is substitute this in.

un=100 a=22 d=6

un=a+(n-1)d

100=22+(n-1)(6)

so now we simplify to find n which is the row number.

100-22=22+(n-1)(6)-22

78=(n-1)(6)

78/6=(n-1)(6)/6

13=n-1

13+1=n-1+1

14=n

so now we know that in the 14th row there is 100 seats.

hope this and that you understood! its my first time using the app or anyone out on here : p its also me to revise so a bunch! ask more questions if you dont understand ☺
