Question

Thaddeus wants to attend a sports camp this spring that costs $180.00 for the week. He rakes leaves during the fall and earns $58.35. He shovels snow during the winter and earns $82.80. How much more money does Thaddeus need to earn to pay for the sports camp?

Answer 1

Hello!

So, Thaddeus needs $180 for the sports camp and he's got $58.35 and $82.80 already.

To calculate how much more money Thaddeus needs for sports camp, we must add up the two amounts of money he earned from raking leaves and shoveling snow, and subtract that from the cost of the camp.

58.35 + 82.80 = 141.15

180 - 141.15 = 38.85

A N S W E R:

Thaddeus must earn $38.85 more for sports camp.
