Question

Jasmine gets paid to do chores around her house. She earns $3.00 every 20 minutes that she cleans the gutters. She earns $3.60 every 20 minutes that she mows the lawn. It took her 40 minutes to clean the gutters and 2 hours to mow the lawn. How much money did Jasmine earn?

Answer 1

$24

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that she earned $3 every 20minute for gutter cleanup

and for mow, she earns $3.6 every 20 minutes.

Step two;

1. For a 40 minutes gutter cleanup she will make

=3*40/20

=3*2

=$6

1. For a 2 hours mow she will make

2 hours is 120 minutes

=3.6*120/20

=3*6

=$18

So in total she earned 6+18= $24
