Sebastian: So are we really doing this? A lawn mowing business for the summer?
Jordan: I already have three neighbors who said yes. Mrs. Phillips wants us every week, and the other two want us every other week.
Sebastian: We only have one mower, though. My dad's.
Jordan: That's fine for now. One of us mows, and the other one trims the edges and bags the grass. We'll finish faster that way anyway.
Sebastian: What are we charging? My cousin charges forty dollars a yard.
Jordan: He also has a truck and a trailer full of equipment. Let's start at twenty-five and see how it goes.
Sebastian: Okay. But we put the gas money aside before we split anything. My dad said if we use his mower, we buy the gas.
Choose the best answer.
