You can put this solution on YOUR website!
4 pm to 3 am is +11+ hrs
4 pm to 12 am is +8+ hrs
12 am to 3 am is +3+ hrs
------------------------------------
Let +C+ = charge for babysitting
Jolina's equation:
+C+=+7.5%2A8+%2B+15%2A3+
+C+=+60+%2B+45+
+C+=+105+
Daniella's equation:
+C+=+5%2A11+%2B+10+
+C+=+55+%2B+10+
+C+=+65+
-------------------------
Daniella is cheaper
