Question

Pablo gets a $12 allowance each week. He also earns extra money by selling lemonade in his neighborhood. He earns $2 for every cup of lemonade he sells. Each week, Pablo saves $5 for a wireless speaker and keeps $7 for spending money. He also has a goal to save $18 a week for college. How many cups of lemonade does Pablo need to sell each week to reach his goal?

Answer 1

Answer:

9 cups of lemonade

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the amount of money Pablo earns every week:

$5 + $7 + $18 = $30

Calculate how much money Pablo gets each week by selling lemonade:

$30 - $12 = £18

Calculate how many cups of lemonade are being sold each week:

18 ÷ 2 = 9

Pablo needs to sell 9 cups of lemonade each week to reach his goal
