Let g represent the minimum amount of money Jamie needs to earn to pay his bills. Jamie works part time at an accounting firm. He gets paid by the task: the more difficult the job, the more money he earns, Jamie needs to earn $875 to pay his bills. This week, he completed five tasks that aid $80, $75, $145, $250, and $80, respectively. Jamie has one more task to complete What is the minimum amount he needs to earn on his last task to pay his bills?

Answer 1

Jamie has earned $80 +75 +145 +250 +80 = $630 so far this week. He needs to earn an additional $875 -630 = $245 to pay his bills.

If Jamie only has one last task, he must earn $245 on that task to pay his bills this week.
