Question 1127440: Anna babysits for a family and currently works 24 hours per week. The family tells her that they need to cut her hours to 20 hours per week but that they will pay her $2 more per hour. Anna is okay with that because her weekly pay will remain the same. What is Anna's current hourly rate of pay?

Let +p+ = her current rate of pay in dollars/hr
+24p+=+20%2A%28+p%2B2+%29+
+24p+=+20p+%2B+40+
+4p+=+40+
+p+=+10+
$10/hr
