Question

Steve made $50 eaking leaves and $75 mowing lawns. He gave 60% of his earnings to his Mother. How much money, in dollars, did Steve give to his mother?

Answer 1

Answer: Steven gave $75 to his mother.

Explanation:

Let’s first calculate the total amount of money Steve earned by adding the money he made from raking leaves and mowing lawns:

$50 + $75 = $125

Next, we can calculate the amount of money Steve gave to his mother by multiplying the total amount of money he earned by the percentage he gave away, representing 60% as 0.6:

$125 * 0.6 = $75

Therefore, Steve gave $75 to his mother.
