    His yard business makes him $7,800 every year after accounting for expenses

    Explanation:

    Step 1: Determine number of yards he mows he in a year

    I year has 52 weeks

    He mows 6 yards once a week

    Total number of yards he mows in a year=number of yards he mows in a week*number of weeks in a year

    where;

    total number of yards he mows in a year=unknown

    number of yards he mows in a week=6

    number of weeks in a year=52 weeks

    replacing;

    total number of yards he mows in a year=6*52=312 yards

    Step 2: Determine the amount he makes in a year

    Total amount in a year=amount per yard*number of yards in a year

    where;

    Total amount in a year=unknown

    amount per yard=$30

    number of yards in a year=312 yards

    replacing;

    Total earnings in a year=30*312=$9,360

    Step 3: Determine total expenditure

    The total expenditure can be expressed as;

    Total expenditure=expense per yard*number of yards in a year

    where;

    total expenditure=unknown

    expense per yard=$5

    number of yards in a year=312 yards

    replacing;

    Total expenditure=5*312=$1,560

    Step 4: Determine the net income after considering expenses

    The net income can be determined using the expression;

    Net income=Total earnings in a year-total expenditure in a year

    where;

    net income=unknown

    total earnings in a year=$9,360

    total expenditure in a year=$1,560

    replacing;

    Net income = (9,360-1,560) = $7,800

    His yard business makes him $7,800 every year after accounting for expenses
