Question

Mario got a part time job mowing lawns. On Monday he charged his neighbor $25 to mow his lawn, then spent $6 to refill his lawn mower with gas. The next day he mowed his Grandparents yard for $20. How much money does Mario have after mowing both yards?

Answer 1

$39

Explanation:

Step one:

He charged $25 and spent $6 on gas on Monday.

then he made 25-6= $19 mowing his neighbor's lawn.

the next day is Tuesday(we are not told he spent any amount on gas on Tuesday).

So he mowed his Grandparents yard for $20.

total money saved for Monday and Tuesday is

19+20= $39

Hence he has $39 for mowing both yards
