Question

Evander would like to buy a new hockey stick. He earns $15 time he cuts the grass in his neighborhood. Because of his busy schedule, he can cut grass on Saturdays and Sundays. Evander is responsible for paying $10/week toward his cell phone bill. He also enjoys chocolate and has a $2 bar least twice weekly. Every time he cuts two lawns, he has to fill up the lawnmower with $5 worth of gas.

If he cuts one lawn each day on the weekend, how much money will he have after he has paid for gas, chocolate, and his cell phone?




Evander would like the same stick that Alexander Ovechkin uses. The regular price is $229.99 (including taxes). How long will it take Evander to save enough money to buy the stick?




When could Evander save enough for the stick if he stopped eating chocolate bars?





When could Evander save enough for the stick if he was able to cut another lawn on Wednesday nights AND stopped eating chocolate?

Answer 1

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

If he cuts one lawn each day on the weekend, how much money will he have after he has paid for gas, chocolate, and his cell phone?

earns - 30 pays - $10pb $2b $5(this is for the 2 days)

SO he gets 30 but spends 19,

Meaning he gets $11 proffit.

30-19 = $11

Evander would like the same stick that Alexander Ovechkin uses. The regular price is $229.99 (including taxes). How long will it take Evander to save enough money to buy the stick?

He makes $11 every week. so 229.99/11 = 20.9, so it will take him 21 weeks to get it.

When could Evander save enough for the stick if he stopped eating chocolate bars?

Ok so he would be getting 2 dollars more so that would make it $13. So 229.99/13 = 17.69, meaning it will take 18 weeks to get it.
