Question

Luis charges a travel fee of $10 plus $25 per month to mow his neighbors lawns. If most of his customers only get their lawns mowed for 5 to 8 months out of the year, what is the RANGE of this situation?

a) 135 210
b) 53x8 с) (5,6,7,8)
d) (135, 160, 185,210)

Answer 1

The range of this situation is $135 to $210.

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of this situation can be calculated by determining the minimum and maximum values of the total cost. The minimum value occurs when Luis mows his neighbors' lawns for 5 months, and the maximum value occurs when he mows for 8 months.

To calculate the minimum total cost, we add the travel fee of $10 to the cost of mowing for 5 months: $10 + ($25/month × 5 months) = $10 + $125 = $135.

To calculate the maximum total cost, we add the travel fee of $10 to the cost of mowing for 8 months: $10 + ($25/month × 8 months) = $10 + $200 = $210.

Therefore, the range of this situation is $135 to $210.
