Question

Darnell needs to raise $176 to buy his favorite bicycle. He has $49 in the bank and his mother told him she would pay him $12 to mow the yard. If he continues to get $12 for each lawn he mows, how many yards will he have to mow, including his mother’s, to be able to buy the bike?

Answer 1

If he has $49, then he still needs $127. So, to get the answer, you have to divide 127 by 12 to get how many individual lawns he mowed, which equals 10.583, so round the answer to the next whole lawn to get 11.
