Q. The expression 20l+25g−10 gives the number of dollars that Josie makes from mowing l lawns and raking g gardens.How many dollars does Josie make from raking 4 gardens and mowing 3 lawns?□ dollars
Identify Given Values: Identify the given values from the problem.Josie makes a certain amount of money for each lawn mowed l and each garden raked g. The expression for calculating the total amount of money made is 20l+25g−10. We are given that Josie rakes 4 gardens and mows 3 lawns.Number of lawns mowed l = 3Number of gardens raked g = 4
Substitute Given Values: Substitute the given values into the expression.Using the expression 20l+25g−10, we substitute l with 3 and g with 4.Total amount made = 20(3)+25(4)−10
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication.Calculate the amount made from mowing lawns: 20×3=60Calculate the amount made from raking gardens: 25×4=100
Add and Subtract: Add the amounts and subtract the constant.Now, add the amounts from mowing and raking, then subtract 10.Total amount made = 60+100−10
Find Final Amount: Perform the addition and subtraction to find the final amount.Total amount made = 160−10Total amount made = 150
