Answer 2

$234.85

Explanation:

The gardener comes four times each month. Each month, Katrina writes a check, and $85.40 is deducted from her bank balance to pay the gardener.

4 days earning = $85.40

1 day earning =
`(85.4)/(4)=\$21.35`

If the gardener came a total of 11 times so far, then we need to find the total amount earned by the gardener.

11 days earning = $21.35 × 11

= $234.85

Hence, he will earn $234.85.
