Solve the word problem. Luke mowed a lawn today to earn some extra money. He spent $2.10 on fuel and $4.45 on lunch. He charged $13.50 to mow the lawn. What was his profit for mowing the lawn?
a. $20.05
b. $15.85
c. $11.15
d. $6.95
To solve this you must simply add $2.10 + $4.45 together to get a sum of $6.55. Next, you must subtract the $6.55 from $13.50 to get a difference/final solution of $6.95. So, in conclusion, Luke made a profit of $6.95 from mowing the lawn.
