Question

Charnika has $599 in saving account at the beginning of the summer. She wants to save atleast $200 in the account by the end of the summer. She withdraws $25 every week for food,clothes, and the movie tickets. How many week can withdraw money from her account

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

we can setup an equation and solve for x: 500-25x = 200, where x stands for the number of weeks she withdraws money.

subtract 500 from both sides to get -25x = -300.

multiply each side by -1 to get 25x = 300

divide each side by 25 to get that x = 12
