MOWING GRASS Rupesh is mowing grass to save money for a vacation. He charges $12 per yard. Rupesh already has $40 and wants to have at least $148 to take with him. Write and solve an inequality to determine how many yards Rupesh needs to mow to have at least $148. Interpret the solution.
$148 is how much you want. You already have $40. $148 - $40 = $108. You need to make $108 more. You get $12 per yard. $108 ÷ $12 = 9. So, you will need to do 9 more yards to get your goal of $148.
