Tim is trying to save up enough money to buy a scooter. The scooter that Tim wants is on sale for $45.00, but the sale only goes until the end of the month. At the end of the month the price of the scooter will increase to $55.00. Tim has decided that he will mow lawns in his neighborhood to earn enough money. He wants his neighbors to hire him instead of the other boys in the neighborhood, so he decides to only charge $6.75 per lawn. Tim also has to pay for the gas in his parents' lawn mower. He has figured out that it will cost him $0.15 per lawn for gas. (Remember, Tim must mow a whole lawn to get paid.)

How many lawns will he have to mow to buy the scooter this month at the discounted price?

answer: ____ lawns

How many total lawns will he have to mow to buy after this month at full price?
