mae mowed two lawns. One of them measured 10m by 13m and the other 15m by 10m. Keili's rate is $3 per 10m2. How much money did she get for the two lawns?
Q. mae mowed two lawns. One of them measured 10m by 13m and the other 15m by 10m. Keili's rate is $3 per 10m2. How much money did she get for the two lawns?
Calculate lawn area: Calculate the area of the first lawn.Area = length × widthArea = 10m×13mArea = 130m2
Add lawn areas: Calculate the area of the second lawn.Area = length × widthArea = 15m×10mArea = 150m2
Calculate total payment: Add the areas of both lawns to find the total area mowed.Total area = area of first lawn + area of second lawnTotal area = 130m2+150m2Total area = 280m2
Calculate total payment: Add the areas of both lawns to find the total area mowed.Total area = area of first lawn + area of second lawnTotal area = 130m2+150m2Total area = 280m2 Calculate the total payment for mowing the lawns.Payment = rate * (total area / area rate)Payment = $3×(280m2/10m2)Payment = $3×28Payment = $84
