Alina Rice · Answer 1

Let the number of extra hours she baby sits every day is x.

For x hours she will make: 4*x = 4x

For three days a week = 3*4x = 12x.

The base of $5 for showing up.

For 3 days a week of showing up = 3 * $5 = $15

Total = 12x + 15

Therefore total amount for 3 days a week = $ (12x + 15), where x is the number of hours spent every day.
