Answer:

Carey's hourly rate to babysit is $10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is -

For each hour he babysits, Anderson earns $1 more than half of Carey’s hourly rate.

Let Carey's hourly rate to babysit be represented by 'c'

So, Anderson's hourly rate will be = [tex]\frac{c}{2}+1[/tex]

Also given that Anderson earns $6 per hour.

So, equaling both, we get;

[tex]6=\frac{c}{2}+1[/tex]

[tex]6=\frac{c+2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]c+2=12[/tex]

[tex]c=10[/tex]

Hence, Carey's hourly rate to babysit is $10.
