Question

The iPod costs $200.00. If Alex did his jobs every week, then how long would it take him to earn $200.00??

Answer 1

Answer:

6 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Job 1:

2 x 3 = 6

$6 per week

Job 2:

2.50 x 4 = 10

$10 per week

Job 3:

15 + 3 = 18

$18 per week

6 + 10 + 18 = 34

$34 per week

200/34 = 5.88

Answer 2

Answer:

It would take him 5.9 weeks (rounded). basically almost 6 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

he makes 6 dollars a week by walking the dog out. he earns 2$ every time he walks the dog out, and he does it 3 times, so 2 x 3 = 6

he makes another 10 dollars a week by babysitting. he earns 2.50$ per hour of babysitting, and he does it for 4 hours per week, so 2.50 x 4 = 10

he makes another 18$ dollars a week by mowing the lawn. he does this once a week. he gets 15$ dollars if he mows, and another 3$ if he pulls weeds. if he does both, he would get 15+3 = 18$ per week by mowing

so add the numbers 6, 10, and 18, and you get 34.

he makes 34 dollars a week

divide the number he wants to make by what he earns in a week to figure out how many weeks it would take.

he wants to get 200$, so the equation is

200 / 34 = 5.88

Its 5.9 rounded or 5.88 weeks exact.
