To find out how many lawns Tom needs to mow to earn $220, you can divide the total amount he wants to earn by the amount he earns per lawn.
\[
\text{Number of lawns} = \frac{\text{Total amount}}{\text{Earnings per lawn}} = \frac{220}{25}
\]
Calculating the division:
\[
\frac{220}{25} = 8.8
\]
Since Tom cannot mow a fraction of a lawn, he needs to round up to the nearest whole number.
Thus, Tom needs to mow **9 lawns** to earn at least $220.
