Question

Dominic works on the weekends and on vacations from school mowing lawns in his neighborhood. For every lawn he mows, he charges $12. Complete the table. Then determine ordered pairs, and create a labeled graph. 1. How many lawns will Dominic need to mow in order to make $240? _________(blank 1) 2. How much money will he make if he mows 9 lawns? _________(blank 2) Question 1 options: Blank # 1 Blank # 2

Answer 1

Answer:

$20\ lawns = \ 240$

$9 \ lawns = \ 108$

See Attachment for Graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$1\ lawn = \ 12$

Solving (a): Number of lawns in $240

$1\ lawn = \ 12$

Multiply both sides by 20

$20 * 1\ lawn = \ 12 * 20$

$20\ lawns = \ 240$

Solving (b): Cost of mowing 9 lawns

$1\ lawn = \ 12$

Multiply both sides by 9

$9 * 1\ lawn = \ 12 * 9$

$9 \ lawns = \ 108$

To create a graph, we need to generate a formula;

If

$1\ lawn = \ 12$

$2\ lawn = \ 24$

$3\ lawns = \ 36$

$x\ lawns = \ 12x$

So:

The graph formula is

$y = 12x$
