Yael Mercado · Answer 1

5 kids

Step-by-step explanation:

Meg profits by $25 - $5 = $20 per day per child. Then the number of children she needs to watch is ...

$2000 / ($20/day/child·20 day) = 2000/400 child = 5 child

Jenny Jarvis · Answer 2

5 kids

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question,

amount charge per day = $25

amount spend on each child = $5

amount earn on each child = 25-5 = $20

Suppose total amount each day she need x

x (20) = 2000

x = 2000/20

x = $100

number of kids per day = total money each day / money on each child

= 100/20

= 5
