Korena is paid $40 it weed the garden 5 times. At this rate, how many times must she weed the garden to earn $100?

What we know:

Korena is paid $40 every five times she does the job

What we need to figure out:

How many times does she have to do it to earn $100

Math:

First I'm going to figure out how much she makes each time she weeds

Money earned ÷ Amount of times

40 ÷ 5

= 8

In order to determine the rest of the time we are going to multiply everything we know by 2

Korena is paid $80 if she does it 10 times

We clearly aren't going to do that again because that will surpass the amount so now we are going to use the unit rate we figured out;

($8 per time)

Korena is paid $88 if she does it 11 times

Korena is paid $96 if she does it 12 times

Korena is paid $104 if she does it 13 times

Statement

Therefore if Korena weeds the garden 13 times she will make $104 surpassing the $100 needed.

answer: 40.95
