Myra wants to save at least $500 by the end of her summer vacation. She currently has $350 saved. She can earn $25 cutting a lawn in her neighborhood. Myra solves an inequality to determine the least number of lawns, n, she must cut to reach her goal.What number is the minimum number of lawns Myra needs to mow to meet her goal?
Myra needs at least $500, and she already has $350, so she needs to earn at least $500 − $350 = $150. At $25 per lawn, she must mow at least $150 ÷ $25 = 6 lawns. The minimum is 6 lawns, choice A.
