To grow grass in Mel smith’s yard a landscaper estimates he’ll need 55 pounds of grass seed. Each pound will cost Mel $1.83. The landscaper will also charge Mel six hours of labor at $12.50 per hour. If Mel pays early, he’ll be entitled to a cash discount of $3.50. Assuming Mel takes advantage of the discount, how much does he pay the landscaper

Respuesta :

Answer:

He will pay the landscaper $147.70

Step-by-step explanation:

55 lbs x $1.38

$12.50 x 6 hrs

-$3.50 discount

55 x 1.38 + 12.50 x 6 - 3.50

75.90 + 12.50 x 6 - 3.50

75.90 + 75 - 3.50

150.9 - 3.50

$147.70
