Thaddeus needs to earn $blank

Answer 1

To find out how much more money Thaddeus needs to earn for the sports camp, we first need to calculate his total earnings from raking leaves and shoveling snow.

1. Total earnings:

   • Earnings from raking leaves: $58.35
   • Earnings from shoveling snow: $82.80

   Total earnings = $58.35 + $82.80 Total earnings = $141.15

2. Cost of the sports camp:

   • Cost = $180.00

3. Amount Thaddeus still needs to earn:

   • Amount needed = Cost of the camp - Total earnings
   • Amount needed = $180.00 - $141.15
   • Amount needed = $38.85

Thus, Thaddeus needs to earn $38.85 more to pay for the sports camp.
