Question

Drew's neighbor pays him $35 to mowher lawn and she always gives him a 20%tip. He decides to mow the lawn with hisfriend and split the earnings evenly. Howmuch will each of them make?

Answer 1

They will each make $21.

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that Drew's neighbor pays him $35 to mow her lawn and she always gives a 20% tip

So, the amount Drew would get in total will be

= $35 + (20% × $35)

= $35 + $7

= $42

So, if Drew mows the lawn with his friend, and splits the earnings evenly, they will be splitting $42 between 2 of them

That is, ($42/2) = $21 per person.

Hope this Helps!!!
