Question

(I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST) Carson wanted to buy a cowboy hat that cost $49.95 (with tax) at a souvenir shop. He knew he had $18 at home already, and he could earn $10 per lawn by mowing lawns for his neighbors. He came up with the following expression to figure out how many lawns he would need to mow in order to purchase the hat: M = 10w + 18 with "w" being the number of lawns he would need to mow and "M" being the total amount of money he has.
Carson then determined he would need to mow 3 lawns by completing the follow steps:
50 = 10w + 18
32 = 10w
3.2 = w

Identify Carson's error. Explain the steps to correctly solve for how many lawns Carson needs to mow. Be sure to clearly state the correct answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

so Carson's problem was at the end, since the neighbors are paying 10$ PER DAY, and 3 days work would only earn him 30$ meaning at the end he would be a dollar short, technically, he needs to work exactly 3.2 days, or...

let's say he works 4 hrs a day

1 Day = 4Hr

3.2 Days = X

X = 3.2 × 4

= 12.8 Hrs

so Carson needs to work 3 days and an extra 48 Minutes
