First, set up the equation.
365x + 125 = 250x + 175
Second, combine like terms on the same side by subtracting 250x and 125 from both sides.
365x +125 = 250x + 175
-250x -125 -250x -125
__________________
115x = 50
Third, divide both sides by 115 to solve for x.
115x = 50
---- ----
115 115
Fourth, simplify.
x=50/115=10/23 or 0.435
Wouldn't the answer be -23/4
There are 16 fluid ounces in a pint, so we have 192/16=12 pints.
Answer:
17 days and a half.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can find how much money he makes per day cutting lawns. This can be found with the equation:
40 x 5 = 200
He makes $200 a day cutting lawns.
Now we can divide his goal money ($3500) by his daily rate ($200) to get the number of days it will take to reach his goal.
3500 ÷ 200 = 17.5
It will take him 17.5 days to reach his goal.
