We can start by subtracting George's current savings from his goal savings to find out how much more money he needs to make:
$500 - $75 = $425
We know George can make $20 for each lawn he mows, so we can set up an equation to represent the situation:
20l = 425
To solve for l, we can divide both sides by 20:
l = 21.25
Since George can't mow a fraction of a lawn, we can round up to the nearest integer:
l = 22
Therefore, George will need to mow 22 lawns to reach his savings goal of $500 by the end of the month.
George has $75 saved. He know he can make $20 for each lawn (l) he mows. He would like his savings account balance to be at least $500 by the end of the month.
How many lawns will George have to mow to reach his savings goal?
