Question

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)

Answer 1

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

1. He currently has $250.
2. His goal is to save $900.

Now, we subtract his current amount from his goal:

\[ 900 - 250 = 650 \]

Gio needs to save an additional $650.

Next, we know that he earns $25 for each lawn he mows. To find out how many lawns he needs to mow, we divide the amount he still needs by the amount he earns per lawn:

\[ \frac{650}{25} = 26 \]

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