Question

Andre wants to save $40 to buy a gift for his dad. Andre’s neighbor will pay him weekly to mow the lawn, but Andre always gives a $2 donation to the food bank in weeks when he earns money. Andre calculates that it will take him 5 weeks to earn the money for his dad’s gift.

How much does Andre’s neighbor pay him each week to mow the lawn?

Answer 1

10$

Explanation:

He needs 40$ and he will get that amount in 5 weeks

if we divide 40 by 5 we will have 8$ a day and add that 2$ he donates to the food bank and that makes 10$ a day.
