Question

Arleen has a gift card for a local lawn and garden store. She uses the gift card to rent a tiller for 4 days. It cost $35 per day to rent the tiller. She also buys a rake for $9.A. Find the change to the value on the gift card. (Question #1)

B. The original amount on the gift card was $200. Does Arleen have enough to buy a Wheelbarrow for $50?

Answer 1

A. The total change in the value on the gift card will be -149$

B. Yes, Arleen has enough to buy a Wheelbarrow for 50$

Explanation:

A.

To calculate the total change in value of the gift card we need to sum all expenses.

4 days of rental + cost of the rake = total change in value

(4 * -35$) - 9$ = -149$

B.

If the value of the gift card was 200$, then we have to subtract the expenses from the gift card value and check whether we have enough to buy a Wheelbarrow.

200$ - 149$ = 51$ > 50$
