Because he doesn't practice as often as his parents would like him to, he has to pay for part of the lessons himself. His parents pay him $0.48 to do the laundry and $1.28 to mow the lawn. In one month, he does the laundry 6 more times than he mows the lawn. If his parents pay him $16.96 that month, how many times did he mow the lawn? </SPAN>\n" );
