Question

Sam earned $233.00 last week mowing lawns. He also spent $47.00 on fuel and repairs to his lawnmower. Estimate the amount of money he profited last week by rounding each number to the nearest ten. (Hint: Profit= money earned - money spent on expenses)

Answer 1

Answer,

$186

Explanation,

All they want you to do is subtract the 233.00 from the 47.00. They wrote it in a confusing way so I understand why you needed help.

Subtract,

233.00 - 47.00 = 186

Hope this helps :-)

Answer 2

He earned $233.00

He spent $47.00

233-47= $186
