Question

Lexi gets paid $5 each week for doing her chores. She can earn $0.60 for each additional chore she completes. She wants to buy a new video game and needs at least $9.50 in order to have enough money for the game. How many additional chores will she need to complete in 1 week, to earn enough money for the game

Answer 1

In order to have enough money to buy the video game she would have to do 8 extra chores that week

Explanation:

subtract the $5 from the $9.50 because she gets that automatically for doing her chores. that leaves you with $4.50 left to earn. divide the $4.50 by the $0.60 she gets for doing extra chores to figure out how many extra chores she would need to do to earn that much.

The answer is 7.5 but you have to round up because you cant do half a chore

hope this was helpful :)
