Question

Tiyana is saving for a vacation. She wants to have at least $75 for each of the 12 days of her trip. If she saves $ 85 each month for 10 months, will she save enough money?

Use mental math to find the total amount she will save. Then write a division equation to see if she will save enough.

Kevin says he can solve this problem a different way. He says that he can compare 85 x 10 and 75 x 12. Do you agree? Explain your thinking.

Answer 1

Yes, I agree.

Explanation:

She needs 75 for each of the 12 days so do the math 12x75. Because she earns 85 dollars each month for ten months, you do 85x10.

Answer 2

yes I agree with kevin's thinking because she needs 75 for each of the 12 days so its 12*75 and compare with how she earns 85 dollars each month for ten months which is 85 *10
