Question 2 • SS-Math 7

The gardener comes four times each month. Each month, Katrina writes a check, and $85.40 is deducted from her bank balance to pay the gardener. If the gardener came a total of 11 times so far, which best represents the total amount that the gardener has earned?

Answer
A
–$939.40
B
–$234.85
C
$234.85
D
$939.40

Explanation

Katrina pays $85.40 for 4 visits, so the gardener earns $85.40 ÷ 4 = $21.35 per visit. For 11 visits, that is 11 × $21.35 = $234.85. Earnings are a positive amount, so the best choice is $234.85.
