Gio mows lawns for $25 each. He already has $250 in his bank account, but is trying to save $900. How many lawns will he need to mow to reach his goal?(1 point)

Question

$$

Answer 1

To determine how many lawns Gio needs to mow to reach his savings goal of $900, we first need to find out how much more money he needs to save.

1. Calculate the amount Gio needs to save: \[ \text{Amount needed} = \text{Goal} - \text{Current savings} = 900 - 250 = 650 \]

2. Determine how many lawns he needs to mow: He earns $25 for each lawn he mows. To find out how many lawns he needs to mow to earn an additional $650, we divide the amount needed by the earnings per lawn: \[ \text{Number of lawns} = \frac{\text{Amount needed}}{\text{Earnings per lawn}} = \frac{650}{25} = 26 \]

Therefore, Gio needs to mow 26 lawns to reach his goal of $900.
