Kate wants to buy a bike that costs $250. She has $40 saved. She will also do 5 days of yard work earning $38 for each day. Will Kate have enough money for the bike? I need a answer ASAP!!

40 + 5(38) = 40 + 190 = 230....nope, she is short by 20 bucks

Unfortunately, Katie will be $20 short

She has $40
Plus the $38 x 5 she will be earning which is $190
$190+$40 is $230

Looks like Kate needs one more day of hard work to get her bike ; )
