Question

Hunter mowed three a day during his summer vacation. He earned $12 per lawn. If he earned $288, how many days did he spend mowing lawns

Answer 1

We know that

• Hunter mowed three a day.

,

• He earned $12 per lawn.

,

• He earned $288 in total.

We need to multiply $12 times 3, since he mowed three per day

`12\cdot3=36`

Hunter earned $36 per day. Now we divide this daily earning and the total

`(288)/(36)=8`

Therefore, Hunter spent 8 days mowing lawns.
