Question

Danny owes his dad $200. He mows lawns after school and on the weekends. He charges $28 a lawn, but pays his friend Sam $12 a lawn to help. Danny plans to repay his dad with half of what he earns on each lawn. Identify the expression which represents the condition described. A) 200 - 2x B) 200 - 8x C) 200 - 14x D) 200 - 16x

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Owes: 200

Per Lawn - x

Charges - 28

Profits - 28-12=16

Pays to dad - 16/2=8

so we get 8 per lawn = 8x

so 200-8x is the expression you want.
