Question

Rico wants to buy the new Madden NFL game. It costs $60.00. He has $24.78 in his bank account. He will also get $20 for mowing his neighbors lawns. Create a number line to represent the situation. ALSO how much more does he need in order to buy the game? *

Answer 1

$15.22

Explanation:

Given that :

Cost of NFL game = $60

Amount Rico has in bank account = $24.78

Amount earned for mowing lawn = $20

Amount needed more to buy the game :

Total amount Rico has :

Cost of NFL game - (Amount in bank + amount earned for mowing)

$60 - ($24.78 + $20)

$60 - $44.78

= $15.22

Amount needed more to purchase the game = $15.22
