Meg is starting a day-care center for the people in her community. She decided to charge $25 per day per child, out of which $5 is her expenditure per child per day.

If Meg\'s target is to earn $2,000 over 20 weekdays in June, the minimum number of kids she has to watch per weekday that month is_____ .

Solution

let x be no. kids she has to watch per weekday

charge $25 per day per child, out of which $5 is her expenditure per child per day.

So, earing per day per child = $25 - $5 = $20

Now , Earning = [x($25 - 5)]*20

Total earning =$2,000
So, 20x(25 - 5) = 2000
500x -100x = 2000
400x = 2000
x=2000/400
x= 5 children/weekday
