Question:Jimmy is at the candy store and buys 2 candy bars for $.75 each. He then buys 4 lollipops that cost $.25 each. He spent 1/6 of the money he earned from shoveling snow. If he charges $1.5 per driveway, how many driveways did he shovel?
Answer:Jimmy spent $1.5 on candy bars because 2 x .75 = <<2*.75=1.5>>1.5
He spent $1 on lollipops because 4 x .25 = <<4*.25=1>>1
He spent $2.5 in total because 1.5 + 1 = <<1.5+1=2.5>>2.5
He earned $15 shoveling driveways because 2.5 / (1/6) = <<2.5/(1/6)=15>>15
He shoveled 10 driveways because 15 / 1.5 = <<15/1.5=10>>10
