Question

Kallen was invited to a birthday party for his best friend. He wanted to buy a gift that was $43.87 and wrapping paper that was $2.94. If he earns $8.25 for each lawn he mows and his mom agrees to match all his earnings how many lawns will he need to complete to buy the gift and wrapping

Answer 1

Answer: 6

Explanation:

The total amount needed by Kallen for the gift and the wrapping paper will be:

= $43.87 + $2.94

= $46.81

Since he earns $8.25 for each lawn he mows, the number of lawns they he will need to complete to buy the gift and wrapping will be:

= $46.81 / $8.25

= 5.67

= 6 lawns approximately

He'll need to mow 6 lawns
