Question

During the summer, Payton and James mow lawns in their subdivision. On each lawn they spend $3.50 on gas and $1.20 on leaf bags. If they charge $22.00 for each lawn, how much profit do they make? A) $4.70 B) $17.30 C) $18.30 D) $22.00

Answer 1

$Cost \:of \: gas = \ 3.50$

$Cost \:of \:leaf \:bags = \ 1.20$

$Total \: amount \: they \:spent = \ 3.50+\ 1.20\\= \ 4.70$

$Amount \:they \:charge = \ 22.00$

$\red {Profit } = \ 22.00 - \ 4.70 \\= \ 17.30$

Therefore.,

$Option \: \pink { ( B) } \:is \: correct.$
