Jaden has a part-time job working for a landscaping company. He earns $25 for each lawn-mowing job, l, and $20 for each pulling-weeds job, w. This can be modeled by 25l + 20w. Evaluate for 1 = 4 and w = 6 to find how much money Jaden will earn for 4 lawn-mowing jobs and 6 pulling-weeds jobs.

1 answer

To calculate how much money Jaden will earn for 4 lawn-mowing jobs and 6 pulling-weeds jobs, we can substitute the values into the equation:

\[ 25l + 20w \]

where \( l = 4 \) (lawn-mowing jobs) and \( w = 6 \) (pulling-weeds jobs).

Now substituting the values:

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

Calculating the individual terms:

\[ 25(4) = 100 \] \[ 20(6) = 120 \]

Now adding these together:

\[ 100 + 120 = 220 \]

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