Question

Fiona needs $62 to go on a field trip. She has saved $10.50. She earns $6.50 per hour cleaning her neighbor's garden, and she earns $5.25 per hour selling cakes at a store. Can Fiona go on the field trip if she works at the garden for 6 hours and at the store for 2 hours?

Answer 1

(6.50 x 6)+(5.25 x 2)+10.50=60
No, unfortunately, she can't go on the field trip. She is off by two dollars.

Answer 2

$39 for gardening
$10.5 for store
39 + 10.5 + 10.5 = 60
Fiona wouldn't be able to go on the field trip 
Hope this helps!
