You want to purchase a new bike that costs $142.68. To save for the bike, you mow your neighbor's yard for $40 each week. How much money will you have left over if you buy the bike after saving for 4 weeks?
a) $10.00
b) $15.67
c) $17.32
d) $35.67
You earn $40 per week by mowing your neighbor's yard, and you save for 4 weeks. Thus, you will have $40 x 4 = $<<40*4=160>>160 after 4 weeks.
Subtracting the cost of the bike, you will have $160 - $142.68 = $<<160-142.68=17.32>>17.32 left over.
Therefore, the correct answer is c) $17.32
To find out how much money you will have left over, you need to calculate your total earnings and subtract the cost of the bike.
The cost of the bike is $142.68.
You mow your neighbor's yard for $40 each week.
After 4 weeks, you will have earned:
Total earnings = $40/week * 4 weeks = $160
To calculate the money left over, subtract the cost of the bike from your total earnings:
Money left over = Total earnings - Cost of bike = $160 - $142.68 = $17.32
Therefore, the correct answer is:
c) $17.32
To calculate how much money you will have left over after saving for 4 weeks, we need to find the total amount you will save in 4 weeks and subtract the cost of the bike from it.
First, let's calculate how much you will save in 4 weeks. Since you mow your neighbor's yard for $40 each week, you will save $40 x 4 = $160 in total.
Next, subtract the cost of the bike ($142.68) from the total amount saved ($160).
$160 - $142.68 = $17.32
Therefore, you will have $17.32 left over if you buy the bike after saving for 4 weeks.
So the correct answer is c) $17.32.
