Question

Melissa of Melissa’s Landscaping Service mows many of the lawns in her neighborhood for $100 per lawn, per month. She also offers full landscape maintenance services for $130 per yard, per month. If Melissa provides full landscaping service for two times the number of yards for which she provides lawn mowing only, and her earnings are $8,280 for a month, for how many yards does Melissa provide the full landscape maintenance service? (25 points)

Answer 1

The answer of the question is 46 Yards.

Answer 2

46 yards

Explanation:

let x = number of lawns mowed per month

let y = number of full landscape maintenance service

y = 2x

100x + 130y = 8,280

100x + 260x = 8,280

360x = 8,280

x = 8,280 / 360 = 23

Melissa provides only lawn service to 23 yards and full landscape maintenance service to 46 yards.
