Tammy earns money by mowing lawns for her neighbors. She currently has $75 and plans to mow lawns until she has at least $200 in savings. If she earns $20 for every lawn she mows, how many more lawns does she have to mow to teach her goal? Write an inequality and solve.

you would subtract 75 from 200 and get 125 then you divide by 20 because that's how much he gets paid per lawn. The answer to that would be 6.25 so he would have to mow 7 more lawns to get to 200$.

The way I solved this problem was by subtracting 200-75 and getting 125. So he would need to mow 125 more lawns. To check your answer you can add 125+75 and get 200
I hope this helped :)
