    nandita earned $224 last month. she earned $28 by selling cards at a craft fair and the rest of the money by babysitting. Complete an equation that models the situation and can be used to determine x, the number of dollars nandita earned last month by babysitting.

    We know that:
    Babysitting + Card Sales = Total earnings

    Set up the equation where x is the dollars earned from babysitting:
    x + 28 = 224

    To solve this equation for x, we type it in our math engine and we get:
    x = 196
