    Andre's neighbor pays him $ 10 each week to mow the lawn

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

    Cost of Andre's dad gift = $ 40

    Weekly donation to the food bank = $ 2

    Number of weeks to save $ 40 = 5

    2. How much does Andre's neighbor pay him each week to mow the lawn?

    Let's calculate this amount, this way:

    Weekly payment = [Cost of the gift + (Weekly donation * Number of weeks to save) ]/Number of weeks

    Replacing with the real values we know:

    Weekly payment = [40 + (2 * 5) ]/5

    Weekly payment = 50/5 = 10

    Andre's neighbor pays him $ 10 each week to mow the lawn
