Meldrick had $28 in his savings account. On Monday, he deposited his earnings from mowing lawns on the weekend. He earned the same amount the next weekend but deposited only 40% of those earnings. After making the two deposits, he had $70 in his account. How much did he earn in one weekend?

Answer:

70 - 28 = 42

42/100 X 40 = 16.8

42 - 16.8 = 25.20
