Question

gloria earned at total of 810 she earned 162 babysitting and the rest from mowing which bar model and solution represent x the amout she earn mowing

Answer 1

To solve the problem of how much Gloria earned from mowing, we can use a simple equation. Let's first determine how much she earned from mowing by using the total amount she earned and the amount she made babysitting.

1. **Total Earnings**: $810
2. **Babysitting Earnings**: $162
3. **Mowing Earnings**: \( x \) (the amount we want to find)

We can set up the equation to represent her total earnings:

\[
\text{Total Earnings} = \text{Babysitting Earnings} + \text{Mowing Earnings}
\]

This can be written as:

\[
810 = 162 + x
\]

Now, we solve for \( x \):

1. Subtract the babysitting earnings from the total earnings:

\[
x = 810 - 162
\]

2. Calculating \( x \):

\[
x = 648
\]

Thus, the amount Gloria earned from mowing is **$648**.

### Bar Model Representation

To visually represent this using a bar model:

- You can draw a large rectangle representing the total earnings of $810.
- Inside this rectangle, you can draw a smaller rectangle representing her babysitting earnings of $162.
- The remaining part of the large rectangle (which would be labeled as $648) represents her earnings from mowing.

This bar model shows how the $810 is divided into $162 for babysitting and $648 for mowing.
