Susie is saving for a new pair of trainers. Every week, she saves £5 of her pocket money

and her mum gives her £3. If the trainers cost £56, how many weeks will it take her to
have enough money to buy them? How much money will she have saved and how much
will her mum have given?

Answer:

7 weeks, £35, and £21.

Explanation:

Every week, Suzie saves £5 and gets £3 from her Mum. Altogether, Suzie gets £8 every week. All we need to do is divide 56 by 8, which gives us 7. Suzie will take 7 weeks to collect enough money. To find out how much she has saved and been given by her mum individually, we need only times these values by 7. 5x7=35, and 3x7=21.
