Respuesta :

Answer: Jarrah has to rake 25 bags.

Step-by-step explanation: Jarrah

Jarrah needs to get $159 dollars, right? Well since he already has $38, we just need to subtract 159 and 38. 159-38 is 121. (121 is how much heneeds  )Each bag raked costs $5, and 5 can't go into 121, so it's best to have more than less. Multiply 5 and 25, and you will get $125. That is more than enough, you cannot do 5x24 because it would be 120, which is too low. Therefore, Jarrah needs to rake 25 bags.
