Question

Ahman has a lawn care business. he charges $25 per lawn to mow the grass. if his monthly expenses are $100, how many lawns must he mow in order to make a profit of at least $250 per month?

Answer 1

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

you can write an equation to represent the situation:

let x represent the number of lawns he has to mow

then, the monthly profit would be 25x - 100.

in order to make $250, this equation has to be equal to 250:

$25x-100=250$

now, solve this:

add 100 to both sides

$25x = 350$

divide both sides by 25

$x = 14$

he must mow 14 lawns
