Answer:
They both charged $25 to mow a lawn
Explanation:
Let "x" be the price they charged to mow a lawn
Thomas's earnings from mowing lawns = 35 lawns * x
Thomas's total earnings with tips = 35 lawns * x + $150
Candice's earnings from mowing lawns = 30 lawns * x
Candice's total earnings with tips = 30 lawns * x + $275
Since they both earned equal amounts, we can set the two expressions equal to each other:
35x + $150 = 30x + $275
Now, let's solve for "x":
35x - 30x = $275 - $150
5x = $125
Now, divide both sides by 5 to find the value of "x":
x = $125 / 5
x = $25
