12. Your neighbor pays $40 to have her lawn mowed and always adds a 15% tip. You and your friend decide to mow the lawn together and split the earning evenly. How much will each of you make?

13. Hannah has $482.75 in her savings account. She would like her account balance to be more than $1,250 before she buys a cell phone. Hannah plans to save $85.25 a month. how many months will it be until she can buy a cell phone? (Hint: Write and solve an inequality that represents this situation.)
First I subtracted 250.00-482.75=767.25 and I knew I needed to divide 85.25 and 767.25, but forgot how to.

800 - 500 = ?
Figure the percentages on both numbers.
4/20 = .2 = 20%
15.
800 - 500 = ?
Figure the percentages on both numbers.
Keep playing with the numbers until you get an answer that makes sense.

Regarding the lawn for $40 and a tip I believe I would ALWAYS get a friend to help and at that rate perhaps my entire family would want in on that bonanza!
0.06 * 500 =030.00=30
0.08 * 300 =024.00=24
24+30=54
54 commission
0.08 * 300 =024.00=24
24+30=54
54 commission
Yes, $54 commission is right.
thanks! your the best! :)
You're welcome. :-)
