Question

Andre wants to save $40 to buy a gift for his dad. Andres neighbor will pay him weekly to mow the lawn, but andre always gives a $2 donation to the food bank in weeks when he earns money. Andre calculates that it will take him 5 weeks to earn the moneynfor his dads gift. How much does Andre's neighbor pay him each week to mow the lawn?

Answer 1

Answer: 10 dollars per week

Explanation:

To get 40 dollars in 5 weeks you would need to get 8 dollars each week. If Andre donates 2 dollars to the food bank each week he would get 2 dollars subtracted each week so his neighbor would have to pay him 10 dollars because he needs 8 dollars per week and the food bank donation takes away 2 dollars per week.
