Answer: Crystal will earn $11.81.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Cost per hour mowing lawns = $5.25
Let the number of hours be 'h'.
Let the amount of money be 'm'
So, According to question, we get
[tex]m=5.25\times h\\\\m=5.25h[/tex]
Here h = 2 hours and 15 minutes
So,
[tex]h=2\frac{15}{60}\\\\h=2\frac{1}{4}\\\\h=\frac{9}{4}[/tex]
So, Crystal will earn if she works for 2 hours and 15 minutes will be
[tex]m=5.25\times \frac{9}{4}\\\\m=\frac{47.25}{4}\\\\m=\$11.81[/tex]
Hence, Crystal will earn $11.81.
