Leo has a new part-time job. During the first month, he earned $450. During the second month, he worked more hours and earned $150 more than during the first month. How much money did Leo earn during the first two months?

1 answer

During the first month, Leo earned $450. In the second month, he earned $150 more than in the first month, so:

\[ \text{Earnings in second month} = 450 + 150 = 600 \]

Now, to find the total earnings over the two months, we sum the earnings from each month:

\[ \text{Total earnings} = \text{Earnings in first month} + \text{Earnings in second month} \] \[ \text{Total earnings} = 450 + 600 = 1050 \]

Therefore, Leo earned a total of $1050 during the first two months.
