Question

Timothy mows his neighbor lawn for $6.50 per week. He continues to do this for 37 weeks until winter. In winter he shovels snow off their lawn for $10.25 per week for 25 weeks. How much money did Timothy earn in total?

Answer 1

$496.75

Step-by-step explanation

Timothy mows his neighbor's lawn for $6.50 per week for 37 weeks until winter.

This means that the amount of money he made mowing is the product of the amount per weeks and the number of weeks.

That is:

`\begin{gathered} 6.50\cdot37 \\ =\text{ \$}240.50 \end{gathered}`

He shovels the snow for $10.25 per week for 25 weeks.

The amount of money he made shoveling is therefore:

`\begin{gathered} 10.25\cdot25 \\ =\text{ \$256.25} \end{gathered}`

The total amount of money that he made in total is the sum of money he made mowing and shoveling:gg

`\begin{gathered} 240.50+256.25 \\ =\text{ \$496.75} \end{gathered}`

That is the answer.
