Answer:

$2120.

Step-by-step explanation:

So first off he will be working for 25 hours a week for eight weeks.

He's getting paid $10 an hour. For one week, 25*10=$250. He would have $250 after one week.

Let's find out how much money for 8 weeks. $250*8=$2000.

Eric will have $2000 for babysitting.

On top of that, his family is also giving a $15 allowance each week.

15*8=$120.

$2000+$120=$2120.

Eric's income for the eight weeks he is babysitting will be $2120.
