Amanda wants to raise more than $90 for a fundraiser her parents donated $20 and her grandparents will give her four dollars for every choice she complaints. How many chores will she need to complete?



Answer :

Answer:

Amanda needs to complete [tex]\( \frac{35}{2} \)[/tex] or 17.5 chores to exactly meet $90 based on the equation. However, since she cannot complete half a chore and she needs to raise more than $90, she will need to complete at least 18 chores.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many chores Amanda needs to complete to raise more than $90 for her fundraiser, let's set up an equation based on the information given:

1. Her parents donated $20.

2. Her grandparents will give her $4 for each chore she completes.

We want the total amount raised to be more than $90. Let's use [tex]\( c \)[/tex] to represent the number of chores she needs to complete. The equation to calculate the total money raised [tex]\( T \)[/tex] can be expressed as:

20 + 4c > 90
