Question

Jenny has $2525 and she earns $1010 for each lawn that she mows. Jenny wants to buy a concert ticket that costs $6565. Enter the minimum number of lawns Jenny needs to mow to be able to buy the concert ticket.

Answer 1

6565 = 1010(4) + 2525

Explanation:

so the equation would be

6565 = 1010x + 2525

x = 4 because

1010 (4) = 4040

and 4040 + 2525 = 6565, so

6565 = 1010(4) + 2525
