17. Mary and Jeff both have jobs at a baseball stadium selling bags of peanuts. They each get paid $12 per game and $1.75 for each bag of peanuts they sell.
a.) How many bags of peanuts does Jeff need to sell to earn $54?

b.) How much will Mary earn if she sells 70 bags of peanuts at a game?

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).
