5 answers

To determine how much Jason earned by babysitting, we first need to calculate the total cost of the skateboard and helmet.

  1. Cost of skateboard: $45.50
  2. Cost of helmet: $18.25

Total cost = Cost of skateboard + Cost of helmet
Total cost = $45.50 + $18.25 = $63.75

Now we need to find out how much of that total Jason earned by babysitting, knowing that he earned some of it by mowing lawns.

However, the problem does not provide the exact amounts earned from mowing lawns. Without that specific information, we can't directly calculate how much he earned from babysitting (unless more information is given).

If we assume he earned a certain total amount (for example, one of the options provided), we could then subtract the amount he earned mowing lawns from that total to find out how much he earned from babysitting.

If you can provide how much he made from mowing lawns or clarify, I would be happy to assist further! If not, it's not possible to determine precisely how much Jason earned babysitting with the information provided.

You have all the information you need. choose from the options. just do the QUESTION!

Apologies for the confusion. Let's proceed step by step with the information provided.

  1. Total cost of skateboard and helmet:

    • Skateboard: $45.50
    • Helmet: $18.25
    • Total = $45.50 + $18.25 = $63.75
  2. Jason earned some amount by mowing lawns and the rest by babysitting.

    • We need to find the options provided related to what he earned babysitting:
      • A. $19.13
      • B. $21.25
      • C. $30.33
      • D. $42.50

To find out how much he earned from babysitting, we can consider that the total he earned must equal to the total cost of the skateboard and helmet ($63.75).

If we assume the remaining amount (after mowing lawns) was the amounts given:

Let’s check the options:

  1. If he earned:

    • A. $19.13: then by mowing lawns he must have earned $63.75 - $19.13 = $44.62 (not a feasible lawn mowing amount).
  2. If he earned:

    • B. $21.25: then he must have earned $63.75 - $21.25 = $42.50 (this could be a plausible amount for mowing lawns).
  3. If he earned:

    • C. $30.33: then he must have earned $63.75 - $30.33 = $33.42 (also plausible).
  4. If he earned:

    • D. $42.50: then he must have earned $63.75 - $42.50 = $21.25 (also plausible).

Based on checking the options, the amounts that can fit reasonably with the context of lawn mowing, we can conclude:

Jason earned $21.25 babysitting.

So the answer is: B. $21.25.

good job.
