A fortune teller gets paid $60 for each fortune he tells, and his goal is to earn $2,280 tell fortunes this month. If he has already 2 fortunes this month, how many more fortunes must he tell in order to reach his goals?
First divide 2,280 by 60 so you know how many he must tell. Then, you know he already told two, so subtract two from the quotient and you should get 36.
