Question

Tariq has earned $54 for cutting the grass of three houses.

Part A: If he continues to earn money at this rate, how much will he make after cutting all 11 lawns on his street?

Part B: How many lawns would he need to cut if he wanted to earn enough money to buy an Xbox One that costs $324?​

Answer 1

Part A: $198

Part B: 18 lawns

Explanation:

Part A:

Find out how much he earns for cutting the grass of one house.

3 houses = 54

1 house = 54 ÷ 3 = 18

11 houses = 18 x 11 = 198

(Final answer)

Part B:

Since you know how much you earn for cutting the grass of one house, take the amount of money needed divided by how much you earn for cutting grass per house.

324 ÷ 18 = 18

(Final answer)
