To find out how much money Jeremy earned mowing lawns, you add the amount he paid for gas ($17) to the amount he had remaining to pay for camp ($75).
17 + 75 = 92
So, Jeremy earned $92 mowing lawns.
The correct answer is 92.
To find out how much money Jeremy earned mowing lawns, we need to subtract the amount he had leftover ($75) from the total amount he had before paying for gas.
Let's set up an equation:
Total amount - Amount spent on gas = Amount earned mowing lawns
Substituting the given values:
Amount earned mowing lawns = $75 + $17
Amount earned mowing lawns = $92
Therefore, Jeremy earned $92 mowing lawns.
To find out how much money Jeremy earned mowing lawns, we need to subtract the amount he spent on gas and the amount he had leftover for camp from the total amount of money he earned.
Let's call the total amount of money Jeremy earned as X.
So, X - $17 (spent on gas) - $75 (leftover for camp) = $0
Now, we can set up an equation to solve for X:
X - 17 - 75 = 0
Combine like terms:
X - 92 = 0
Now, we can add 92 to both sides of the equation to isolate X:
X = 92
Therefore, Jeremy earned $92 mowing lawns.
