Hello!

So, Thaddeus needs $180 for the sports camp and he's got $58.35 and $82.80 already.

To calculate how much more money Thaddeus needs for sports camp, we must add up the two amounts of money he earned from raking leaves and shoveling snow, and subtract that from the cost of the camp.

58.35 + 82.80 = 141.15

180 - 141.15 = 38.85

A N S W E R:

Thaddeus must earn $38.85 more for sports camp.
