Miguel work landscaping He earns weekly $150 plus $30 each lawn he mows What point Miguel begin to earn more from $30 than $150

Question

Explain answer

Answer 1

Divide the $150 by $30 to find out how many lawns Miguel has to mow to make the same as his weekly salary.

150 divided by 30 = 5

If he mows five lawns he makes exactly the same as his weekly salary.

The question is, when does he start making more money than $150 from the number of lawns he mows.

If 5 lawns per week make the same, than six lawns per week (or more) would earn him more than $150.
