Edward’s Lawn Service needs your help
Edward runs his own lawn mowing and edging service, and over the
summer months, demand is high. He’s offered you a job to help him
cope with all the extra business.
Edward charges clients based on lawn area. That way, clients with a
small area of lawn get charged a lower amount than clients with a
large lawn.

I’ve got more clients than I
can handle! I’ve got a mower
you can use, you just need to
be able to figure out what to
charge people. No problem,
right?
