Question

Keith mowed his aunt's yard 12 times. Each time, he mowed for 1.75 hours and he earned $8.40 per hour. How much money, to the nearest cent, did Keith earn mowing his aunt's yard?

Answer 1

Answer: $‭176.4‬0

Explanation:

Keith mowed the yard 12 times.

Each time he mowed took 1.75 hours.

The number of hours he took in total is therefore:

= 12 * 1.75 hours

= 21 hours

He gets paid $8.40 for every hour he works. For the 21 hours therefore, he would earn:

= 8.40 * 21 hours

= $‭176.4‬0
