Alandscaping company charges customers for lawn care based on the area of their yards. mr. jones was charged $52 for his yard, which is 40 feet by 65 feet. if a neighbor's yard is 50 feet by 80 feet, what would the neighbor be charged based on how much mr. jones was charged?

The neighbor would be charged $80

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of Mr Jones's yard are 40 feet by 65 feet. This means that the shape of Mr Jones's yard is rectangular. The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is length × width. The area of the yard would be

40 × 65 = 2600 square feet

Mr. Jones was charged $52 for his yard. This means that the amount that he was charged per square foot would be 52/2600 = $0.02

If a neighbor's yard is 50 feet by 80 feet, it means that the area of his yard would be 50 × 80 = 4000 square feet. The amount that the neighbor would be charged is

4000 × 0.02 = $80
