The number of hours worked babysitting is 5

How to determine the time spent?

Let the number of hours be x.

The hourly rate is given as:

$8

So, the total earning is:

Total = 8x

When you go to their house, you earn extra $10

Total = 8x + 10

The total earning in a day is 50

So, we have:

8x + 10 = 50

Subtract 10 from both sides

8x = 40

Divide through by 8

x = 5

Hence, the number of hours worked babysitting is 5
