a) $10.00

b) $15.67

c) $17.32

d) $35.67

1 answer

You earn $40 per week by mowing your neighbor's yard, and you save for 4 weeks. Thus, you will have $40 x 4 = $<<40*4=160>>160 after 4 weeks.
Subtracting the cost of the bike, you will have $160 - $142.68 = $<<160-142.68=17.32>>17.32 left over.
Therefore, the correct answer is c) $17.32
