a fortune teller gets paid $60 for each fortune he tells, and his goal is to earn $2280 telling fortunes this month. If he has already told 2 fortunes this month how many more fortunes must he tell in order to reach his goal?
If he already has 2 fortunes this month that means he's made $120. If his goal is $2280 then subtract 120 from that. So he needs $2160. So divide 2160 by 60 to find how many more fortunes he needs to complete his goal. The answer is 36!
