Gio mows lawns for $25each. 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?

Answer 1

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

1. Current amount in bank account: $250
2. Goal amount: $900
3. Amount needed to reach the goal: \( 900 - 250 = 650 \)

Now, we know that Gio earns $25 for each lawn he mows. To find out how many lawns he needs to mow to earn the additional $650, we divide the amount needed by the earnings per lawn:

\[ \text{Number of lawns} = \frac{650}{25} = 26 \]

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