Question

Maya needs $58 to go on a field trip. She has saved $18.50. She earns $6.50 per hour cleaning her neighbor's garden, and she earns $5.25 per hour selling cakes at a store. Can Maya go on the field trip if she works at the garden for 3 hours and at the store for 4 hours?

Answer 1

She has $18.50 so she needs $39.50.

6.50×3= 19.50

18.50+19.50= 38

5.25×4=21

38+21=59

Maya would have enough money to go on the trip.
