Alexander is raking leaves to earn money to buy a bicycle that costs $300 including tax.

He currently has $75 and will spend $50 on supplies.

He charges $15 per yard he rakes.

What is the fewest number of yards Alexander will have to rake to have enough money to buy the bicycle?

Answer:

19 yards

Explanation:

75 - 50 = 25

15 * 19 = 285

285 + 25 = 310
