Keith earns $2.25 each time he helps his mother do the laundry. he has earned a total of $36 Let x be the total of times Keith helped his mother do the laundry

1 answer

We can solve this problem by setting up an equation. Let x be the total number of times Keith helped his mother do the laundry. Since Keith earns $2.25 each time he helps, the equation becomes:

2.25x = 36

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 2.25:

x = 36 / 2.25

x = 16

Therefore, Keith helped his mother do the laundry 16 times.
