Question

Tommy mows lawns and cleans pools during the summer he earns $20 per line and nine dollars per pool he needs $1500 to buy a car from his friend Tommy plans to mow 41 months this summer how many pools messy clean to earn at least $1500

Answer 1

Tommy must clean at least 76 pools, in addition to mowing 41 lawns, to earn the $1500 he needs to buy a car.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tommy has a summer job mowing lawns at $20 per lawn and cleaning pools at $9 per pool to save up for a car. To determine how many pools he needs to clean to reach his goal of $1500, we need to calculate his earnings from mowing lawns first and then see how much more he needs to earn from pool cleaning.

First, we calculate Tommy's lawn mowing earnings:
41 lawns × $20 per lawn = $820

After mowing lawns, Tommy will need an additional $1500 - $820 to buy the car. This difference is $680.

Next, to find out how many pools Tommy needs to clean, we divide the remaining amount by the amount he earns per pool:
$680 ÷ $9 per pool ≈ 75.56

Since Tommy can't clean a fraction of a pool, he will need to clean at least 76 pools to make enough money to buy the car. Therefore, the answer is 76 pools.

Answer 2

Tommy has to clean at least 76 pools to make a total of $1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Money Tommy needs to buy the car=$1500

Money earned for mowing 1 line=$20

Money earned for cleaning 1 pool=$9

Number of lines mowed=41

Money earned by mowing alone=41×20

=$820

Money to be earned by cleaning pools=1500-820

=$680

So,number of pools to be cleaned=
`(680)/(9)`

=75.555

Hence ,Tommy has to clean at least 76 pools to make a total of $1500.
