Jackson works 5 days a week going door-to-door collecting for charity. His goal is to raise $1000 for the week. He earned $300 on Monday and $40 on Tuesday. If he collects an average of $10 for every 4 houses he visits, how many houses will he have to visit on each of the remaining days of the week to meet his goal?
How much money does Jackson still need to collect? ** First find the total amount Jackson still needs to collect: $1000 - $300 - $40 = $<<1000-300-40=660>>660
How many more days will Jackson work? ** Then subtract the number of days he already worked from the number of workdays in the week to find how many more days he'll work: 5 days - 2 days = <<5-2=3>>3 days
How much money does Jackson need to earn per day? ** Then divide the total amount he still needs to earn by the number of days he has to earn it to find how much he needs to earn per day: $660 / 3 days = $<<660/3=220>>220/day
How much money does Jackson collect per house? ** Then find how much money he collects per house: $10 / 4 houses = $<<10/4=2.50>>2.50/house
How many houses does Jackson need to visit per day? ** Then divide the amount he needs to collect per day by the amount he collects per house to find how many houses he needs to visit per day: $220/day / $2.50/house = <<220/2.5=88>>88 houses/day
