Question

Jeremy Charges his neighbors $15.00 to wash their car. Howmany cars must he wash next summer if his goal is to earn at least $2000?

Answer 1

Answer: 134 cars

Since Jeremy charges $15.00 per car and he plans to earn at least $2000, if we let 'x' be the number of cars, we will have:

`15x=2000`

Solving for x:

`\begin{gathered} 15x=2000 \\ x=(2000)/(15) \\ x=133.33 \end{gathered}`

Since cars can only be counted as whole numbers, Jeremy would need to wash 134 cars to earn at least $2000
