Question

Updated question (thank you and sorry I didn't elaborate the 1st time) Leticia earns $8 each time she rakes the yard. she has earned $24 so far. Write and solve an equation to show how many more times Leticia needs to rake the yard to earn enough to buy a music player that costs $45. Show your work. (has to be division with a reminder)

Answer 1

first you have to see what you need to multiply it by so you divide 24 by 8 which gets you 3. then you divide 45 by 3 and that gets you 15 so she has to rake the yard 15 times.

Answer 2

she needs 45 -24 = 21 more dollars

21/8 = 2 5/8 she needs to rake 3 more yards to have enough money to but the music player
