$119.85 is the total amount he earned in 2 weeks
He mows his neighbor's lawn each week for $25...So if he mows for 2 weeks it should be
$25×2=$50
Darian gets paid $6.35 an hour to help out at his dad's shop...
Let X be the number of hours Darian worked at his dad's shop in the two weeks
So we can now make an equation to find X

(X×$6.35)+($25×2)=$119.85
(X×$6.35)+$50=$119.85
X×$6.35=$119.85-$50
X×$6.35=$69.85
X=$69.85÷$6.35
X=11

Therefore the number of hours Darian worked at his dad's shop in those two weeks is 11
The answer is B. because he got 25 dollars for doing the lawn. So               119.85-25=94.85. And 94.85/6.35= how many hours or 14.9370079. So 14.9370079 rounded is 15. So your answer is 15 hours. B.)
