Answer "and" Explanation:
Depends on whether this is a simple math problem or a riddle. I’m assuming the latter so…
Jeff received $20.00 for providing a lawn mowing service. Jeff received an additional $5.25 tip. Ignoring costs and taxes, Jeff’s gross receipts were $25.25.
Jeff then decided to wash a car. The ways it’s worded leads me to believe he spent $12.50 on the car wash.
So, $25.25 - $12.50 = $12.75
Alternatively, if Jeff was paid to wash the car then:
$20.00 + $5.25 + 12.50 = $37.75
So the Answer will be: $37.75
