How much do parents pay per day? If a childcare center charges $150 per week during the school year. In the summer, parents can pay a prorated amount based on the number of days of attendance.
During the school year, children usually go to the childcare 5 days per week. Knowing that parents pay $150 per week, we can divide this amount by the number of days children go to the childcare in order to find the daily payment.
This is done as follows: daily payment = $150 / 5 = 30$ per day
