If Tim mows the first lawn for $13, then mows another for $17, the next for $24. Then he mows another three lawns for his neighbors which is priced as follows:

Mrs. Jones will pay $30, Mr. Wilson will pay $26, Ms. Smith will pay $24.

The total earnings of Tim will be:

$13 + $17 + $24 + $30 + $26 + $24 = $134
