Question

A palm reader gets paid $80 for each palm she reads, and her goal is to earn $2240 reading palms this month. If she has already read 4 palms this month, how many more palms must she read in order to reach her goal?

A.24
B.28
C.20
D.32

Answer 1

A. 24 because the palm reader must read 28 palms to reach $2240 as she charges $80 for each palm. Since she already read 4 palms it should be subtracted from 28 to obtain 24.

Answer 2

your answer would be (A)24
because 80*4=320
so 2240-320=1920
80*24=1920
hope this helped:)
