Question

landon earns about $60 per week mowing lawns in rhe summer and shoveling driveways in the winter. He invested $220 in equipment. How long will it take him to earn $860​

Answer 1

Answer:

$18$   $weeks$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = weeks:

Since Landon receives $60 dollars per week, and he invests $220 in equipment:

60w - 220 = 860

Do backwards equation style:

860 + 220

==> 1080

So now we have to find how many times 60 goes into 1080, which is 18 times

60(18)

==> 1080

It will take him 18 weeks to reach to $860 dollars.
