Answer

R35.00\text{R}35.00

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

Lesego's net earnings after paying for the taxi are R35.00.

  1. Calculate total earnings from babysitting

    Lesego earns R5.50 per hour and works for 10 hours.

    Total earnings=Hourly rate×Hours worked\text{Total earnings} = \text{Hourly rate} \times \text{Hours worked} Total earnings=R5.50/hour×10 hours\text{Total earnings} = \text{R}5.50/\text{hour} \times 10\ \text{hours} Total earnings=R55.00\text{Total earnings} = \text{R}55.00
  2. Calculate net earnings after taxi fare

    Lesego's total earnings are R55.00, and she pays R20.00 for the taxi.

    Net earnings=Total earnings−Taxi fare\text{Net earnings} = \text{Total earnings} - \text{Taxi fare} Net earnings=R55.00−R20.00\text{Net earnings} = \text{R}55.00 - \text{R}20.00 Net earnings=R35.00\text{Net earnings} = \text{R}35.00

    The final net earnings are:

    R35.00\text{R}35.00
