Question

Thaddeus wants to attend a sports camp for the spring that costs $180.00 for the week. He rakes leaves during the fall and earns $58.35. He shovels the snow during the winter and earns $82.80. How much more money does thaddeus need to pay for sports camp. Round to the nearest decimal

Answer 1

calculate his total earnings:

Total earnings = Earnings from raking leaves + Earnings from shoveling snow

= $58.35 + $82.80

= $141.15

Now, we subtract his total earnings from the cost of the sports camp:

Amount needed to pay for sports camp = Cost of sports camp - Total earnings

= $180.00 - $141.15

= $38.85

Therefore, Thaddeus needs $38.85 more to pay for the sports camp. Rounded to the nearest decimal, it's $38.90.
