First find 25% of 21.5. You can do this by multiplying .25 by 21.5. That gives you 5.375. Subtract that from 21.5. That gives you 16.125. Money only has two decimal places so round 16.125 up to 16.13 and that's your answer! <3

Answer:

18 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation where x is the number of weeks he works

60x - 220 will represent his profit, since he gets $60 a week but spent $220 in equipment.

Set this equal to 860, then solve for x, to find when he will earn $860

60x - 220 = 860

60x = 1080

x = 18

So, it will take him 18 weeks to earn $860
