A) $5.25
B) $6.25
C) $9.85
D)$16.75

Answer 1

Okay, so we know that he is going to charge $11.50 to mow the lawn. However, he has the expense of fuel and lunch. What we need to do is add up his extra expenses (f+l) and subtract them from the total price that he is charging to mow the lawn.

$3.45 + $5.25

11.50 - 5.25 = 6.25

So the answer to your question would be B.) $6.25 :)
