Question

Exit Felix was given $125 for his birthday from his grandmother. He plans to put this money toward the purchase of a $250 skateboard. The remainder of the money he plans to earn mowing lawns for the rate of $35 each. What is the least number of lawns Felix will have to mow in order to have enough to buy the skateboard?

Answer 1

Hi!

First let's set up an inequality.

35x ≥ 125

Now solve for x
125/35 = 3.6 (round up to nearest whole number)
x = 4

The answer is 4

Hope this helps! :)
