Thaddeus needs to earn $blank

Answer 1

To determine how much more money Thaddeus needs to earn for the sports camp, we first need to calculate his total earnings from raking leaves and shoveling snow:

1. Earnings from raking leaves: $58.35
2. Earnings from shoveling snow: $85.80

Now, we add these two amounts together:

\[ 58.35 + 85.80 = 144.15 \]

Next, we need to find out how much more money Thaddeus needs to pay for the sports camp, which costs $170.00. We subtract his total earnings from the camp cost:

\[ 170.00 - 144.15 = 25.85 \]

Thus, Thaddeus needs to earn $25.85 more to pay for the sports camp.

Thaddeus needs to earn $25.85.
