Question

Solve using the four-step plan. Maria needs to save $170 to go with her school to Washington D.C. She already has $43 saved in the bank. She babysits 3 Saturdays and receives $25 each time. She also washes her mother’s car and receives $14. How much more money does she need to make to be able to go on the trip? Question 16 options: $132 $88 $38 $82

Answer 1

38

Explanation:

170-43-25x3-14

=170-43-75-14

=38

Answer 2

Answer: Third option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount she saved in the bank = $43

Amount she received each Saturday = $25

Number of Saturdays she babysits = 3

So, Amount she earned =
`25* 3=\$75`

Amount she earned by washing her mother's car = $14

Total amount she saved with her is given by

`43+75+14\\\\=\$132`

But she needs to save = $170

So, Amount she needs more is given by

`\$170-\$132\\\\=\$38`

Hence, Third option is correct.
