Show expression used and step by step explanation

Answer 1

Answer:

$3.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Money earned by mowing 5 lawns (income) = $4.70 x 5 = $23.50

Cost of filling 3 tanks (expenditure) = $6.80 x 3 = $20.40

Profit = income - expenditure

         = $23.50 -  $20.40

        = $3.10
