to save enough money to buy the bike?
Answer
22
23
24
25
26

Answer 1

○=> Correct option :

$\color{plum}\tt\bold{(d) \: 25}$

○=> Steps to derive correct option :

Cost of a bike Raylin wants to buy = $85

Money Raylin already has = $22

Money she needs :

$= \tt85 - 22$

$= \tt\ 63$

Thus, money Raylin still needs = $63

Money she gets from doing one chore = 2.50

Number of chores the needs to do :

$= \tt \frac{63}{2.50}$

$\color{plum} =\tt 25 \: chores$

Thus, Raylin needs to do 25 chores to be able to buy the bike.

Therefore, the correct option is (d) 25
