    7.25 h = $36.25 is the required expression.

    Cat worked 5 hours for the customer as babysitter.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The hourly rate paid to cat for babysitting job = $7.25

    Let us assume the number of hours cat worked = h hours

    ⇒The total amount paid for m working hours to Cat

    = h x (Cost of working per hour) = h x $7.25

    = 7.25 h

    Also, the amount paid to Cat after h hours = $36.25

    According to question:

    7.25 h = $36.25

    or, h = 36.25 / 7.25 = 5

    ⇒ h = 5

    Hence, Cat worked 5 hours for the customer as babysitter.
