Question

Martin charges $15 for every 5 bags of leaves he raked last week and he raked 27 bags of leaves how much money did he earn

Answer 1

$81

Explanation:

First, find out how much he charges for raking 1 bag of leaves. The following equation can solve for the amount charged per bag.

[b = amount charged per bag]

15/5 = b

15/5 = 3

3 = b

This means he charges $3 for one bag.

Martin rakes 27 bags, so multiply 3 by 27 to find the total amount of money he earned

27(3) = 81

So, Martin earned $81 for raking 27 bags of leaves
