Answer: Nick must now at least 6 yards.
Explanation:
Since Nick has $80 saved already, and he makes $40 per yard that he mows, thus can be put up in an equation as:
= 80 + 40y
where y = number of yards
Since Nick needs to raise at least $320 for his trip, the equation to solve this will be:
80 + 40x ≥ 320
40x ≥ 320 - 80
40x ≥ 240
x ≥ 240/40
x ≥ 6
Therefore, Nick must now at least 6 yards.
