Question

Pedro can make $55 in three days mowing lawns. At that rate, how many days will it take him to make $220?

Answer 1

12 days

Explanation:

First we need to find how much he makes in 1 day:

if $55 in 3 days that means 55/3=$18.33 a day

now 220/18.33≈12 days

Answer 2

I got 12.

Explanation:

Divide 55 by 3 to get the amount he makes each day (18.333333, which rounds to 18.33)

Divide the amount he wants to earn by the amount he earns each day (12.00218221, which rounds to 12)
