We can find this by creating a function to represent how many lawns she's mowed. 


f(x) = 46x - 343

The 46x represents the profit of 46 dollars per month for each lawn mowed and the -343 is the cost of fuel per month to remove it from profit. We now need to set this function to 800, and solve for x.

800 = 46x - 343
1143 = 46x
25.58 = x

Because she can't mow part of a lawn, we need to round to a whole number. Our options are to round down to 25 or round up to 26. Lets start with the lower number first, and see if the profit for that many lawns is over 800.

f(25) = 46(25) - 343
f(25) = 1150 - 343
f(25) = 807

Because 25 is over 800 dollars, we don't need to calculate 26. Therefore, she needs to mow at least 25 lawns to make a profit of at least 800 dollars a month.

You want to estimate the number of students in your middle school school who buy school lunch. Which sample is unbiased?
Nezavi [6.7K]
A biased example: Asking students who are in line to buy lunch 

An unbiased example: Asking students who are leaving/going to lunch(<em>NOT buying </em><em>lunch</em><em />).

But in this case, the answer choices can be... confusing.
Don't panic! You're given numbers and, of course, your use of logic.

Answer choice A: 100 students grades 6-8
Answer choice B: 20-30 students any <em>one</em> grade<em></em><em>
</em>Answer choice C: 5 students
<em></em>Answer choice D: 50 students grade 8

An unbiased example would be to choose students from <em>any grade.</em> So we can eliminate choices B and D.

Now, the question wants to <em>estimate how many people at your middle school buy lunch.</em> This includes the whole entire school, and if you are going to be asking people, you aren't just going to assume that if 5 people out of 5 people you asked bought lunch, the whole school buys lunch.

So, to eliminate all bias and/or error by prediction, answer choice A, the most number of students, is your answer.
