1. The problem asks which babysitter earns more dollars per hour based on the given data for Babysitter A. 2. To find the hourly rate, we use the formula for rate: $$\text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Earnings}}{\text{Hours}}$$ 3. Calculate the hourly rate for Babysitter A using the data points: - For 3 hours: $$\frac{42}{3} = 14$$ - For 6 hours: $$\frac{84}{6} = 14$$ - For 9 hours: $$\frac{126}{9} = 14$$ 4. Since the hourly rate is consistent at $14 per hour, Babysitter A earns 14 dollars per hour. 5. Without data for Babysitter B, we cannot compare, but Babysitter A earns 14 dollars per hour based on the given information.
