Accepted Solution

A:
Let B be the amount Beatrice charges per hour per childLet x be the number of hoursLet n be the number of childrena)total amount Beatrice charges = T = B*x*n - 10b)n =4 and T = 100100 = B*x*4 -40x = 35/Bc)Let S be the amount she has t o pay to her sistern = 3 and x = (4+4+5) = 13so, 13*B*3 -30 -S = 100S = 39B - 130
