Final answer:
Wesley will save $360 over 12 months by putting aside $30 each month, which exceeds his vacation budget of $350 for 7 days at $50 per day, ensuring he has enough money.
Step-by-step explanation:
Wesley wants to calculate if he will have enough money saved to spend at least $50 each day during his 7-day vacation. To determine if he will meet his goal, we can calculate the total amount he plans to save over 12 months by saving $30 each month.
To find out the total savings, multiply the monthly saving amount by the number of months:
- Total savings = Monthly saving amount × Number of months
- Total savings = $30 × 12
- Total savings = $360
Next, we'll calculate the total amount Wesley wants to have for his vacation:
- Vacation budget = Daily spending amount × Number of vacation days
- Vacation budget = $50 × 7
- Vacation budget = $350
Since Wesley's total savings of $360 is more than the vacation budget of $350, he will have enough money saved for his vacation.
