Question

job, and $20 for each pulling-weeds job. This can be modeled by.
Evaluate and to find how much money Jaden will earn for 4 lawnmowing jobs and six pulling-weeds jobs.

Answer 1

To calculate Jaden's earnings, we can use the equation based on the jobs he does:

Let:

• \( L \) be the number of lawn-mowing jobs.
• \( W \) be the number of pulling-weeds jobs.

Jaden earns $25 for each lawn-mowing job and $20 for each pulling-weeds job.

The total earnings can be represented by the equation:

\[ E = 25L + 20W \]

Now, if Jaden does 4 lawn-mowing jobs (\( L = 4 \)) and 6 pulling-weeds jobs (\( W = 6 \)), we can substitute these values into the equation:

\[ E = 25(4) + 20(6) \]

Calculating each part:

\[ E = 25 \times 4 = 100 \] \[ E = 20 \times 6 = 120 \]

Now, add these two amounts together:

\[ E = 100 + 120 = 220 \]

Therefore, Jaden will earn $220 for 4 lawn-mowing jobs and 6 pulling-weeds jobs.
