Question

Thaddeus wants to attend a sports camp this spring that costs $170.00 for the week. He rakes leaves during the fall and earns $58.35. He shovels snow during the winter and earns $85.80. How much more money does Thaddeus need to earn to pay for the sports camp? Write your answer as a decimal. Thaddeus needs to earn

Answer 1

As we can see Thaddeus needs to earn the difference in the cost of the spring sports camp and the total earnings he has made during the fall raking leaves and during the winter shoveling snow.

The total money Thaddeus has earned by raking leaves and shoveling snow is $58.35+$85.80=$144.15.

Therefore, the amount Thaddeus needs to earn more to pay for the summer sports camp is:

$170.00-$144.15=$28.85

Answer 2

The answer to this question is 25.85
