Tim would have to do 18 chores (2 chores 9 times or 1 chore 18 times) to be able to buy the video game.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; Tim's parents will give him $3 for every two chores. This equals $1.50 for a single chore. He wants to save up $27 so that he can buy the video games he wants.
Step 2; The number of times he has to do the chores to be able to but the video game is a division between the money he wants to save up by the money he gets for the chores.
Number of 2 chores he needs to do = Amount of money he wants to save up / money he gets for doing two chores
= $27 / $3 = 9 times.
Number of single chores he has to do =Amount of money he wants to save up / money he gets for doing two chores
$27 / $1.50 = 18 times
