Given:

Amount saved = $52

Amount you earn on each lawn = $4

Let's find how many more lawns you need to mow to reach a total of $74.

Let x represent number of lawns needed to reach a total of $74

We have the equation:


x=(74-52)/(4)

Let's solve for x:


\begin{gathered} x=(74-52)/(4) \\ \\ x=(22)/(4) \\ \\ x=5.5\approx6 \end{gathered}

Therefore, you need to mow 5.5 lawns which is approximately 6 lawns to reach a total of $74
