Solve the word problem. jackie mowed a lawn today to earn some extra money. she spent $1.90 on fuel and $4.65 on lunch. she charged $12.50 to mow the lawn. what was her profit for mowing the lawn? a. $5.95 b. $9.75 c. $15.25 d. $19.05

A. $5.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackie's net income for the day is the amount earned less expenses:

... $12.50 -1.90 -4.65 = $5.95

Comment on the problem

For tax purposes, very likely Jackie could not consider the price of lunch to be a business expense. Thus, her business income is $12.50 -1.90 = $10.60. The cost of lunch is possibly an expense Jackie would incur whether she mowed a lawn or not.

i think it might be a but you might want a second opinion
