v= visits

16v= 336

You would multiply 16 by v to find the money earned by the visits.

Divide 16 into both sides.

336/16= 21

v= 21

The gardener made 21 visits.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

21 visits

Explanation:

As per statement of the question

Gardener charges a flat fees of $16 per visit.

Then charges for v visits = $ 16v

If his total earnings are d dollars then equation for his total earning will be

16v = d

In a perticular month he earns $ 336

Then equation will be 16v = 336

v =
(336)/(16)

= 21

Therefore, 21 visits will be the answer.
