Answer 1

Answer:

3 days of the week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well they removed my answer even though it was correct.

Monday - Friday = 5 days. If you divided 40 by 100 you get .40 which is forty percent in decimal form. 5 * .40 = 2 days.

Weekend is 2 days. If you divide 50 by 100 you .50 which is fifty percent in decimal form. 2 * .50 = 1 day.

Thus he babysat on 3 days of the week.
