This is represented by the equation y = 15x, where y is the total amount Ryan charges and x is the number of 1/2 -hour sessions of mowing. If mr.smith lawn takes 2 hours to mow and mrs.jones lawn 3.5 hours to mow, how much more would Ryan charge mrs Jones then me.smuth

Answer 1

Answer:

$45 more

(but honestly I think I would spend longer mowing their lawns to try and make some more profit)

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Smith requires 4 1/2 hours.

Mrs Jones requires 7 1/2 hours.

7 - 4 = 3

3 * 15 = $45
