Tommy mows lawns and cleans pools during the summer he earns $20 per line and nine dollars per pool he needs $1500 to buy a car from his friend Tommy plans to mow 41 months this summer how many pools messy clean to earn at least $1500

Respuesta :

Answer:

Tommy has to clean at least 76 pools to make a total of $1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Money Tommy needs to buy the car=$1500

Money earned for mowing 1 line=$20

Money earned for cleaning 1 pool=$9

Number of lines mowed=41

Money earned by mowing alone=41×20

                                                      =$820

Money to be earned by cleaning pools=1500-820

                                                                 =$680

So,number of pools to be cleaned=[tex]\frac{680}{9}[/tex]

                                                         =75.555

Hence ,Tommy has to clean at least 76 pools to make a total of $1500.
