Question

Can anyone show me how to solve this problem? I know that its 5 weeks. (The problem is “Ahmed is saving his money to buy a Ipad that costs $319.50. Right now he has $21.95, and can save $63.00 each week. How many weeks will it take for Ahmed to have enough money to buy the Ipad)

Answer 1

5 weeks

Explanation:

Substract 319.5 (the amount he has to save) to the amount he has already saved, which is 21.95. Now the constant amount of change is 63 dollars each week so divided it by that. So the equation should be (319.5-21.95) and divide all that by 63 to get 4.72 or rounded to the nearest number, is 5.
