Question

Jesse is saving the money he earns in his piggybank. He had already earned

$60 from previous work. He charges $15 to mow one lawn. After mowing 4
lawns, how much total money will he have in his piggybank?

Answer 1

Jesse will have $120.

Explanation:

First you need to set up your equation. We know Jesse has $60 already and that he charges $15 per lawn. Your equation will look something like this:

15x+60=?

Then you plug in the 4 lawns he did:

15(4)+60=

Then you solve and get 120! :)

PS Parenthesis mean you are multiplying. Same thing as saying

15 x 4 + 60= 120
