Question

Fatima is saving up to buy a $300 bike. She saves $25 each week from her babysitting money. Which linear equation represents the amount Fatima still has to save after x weeks?

Answer 1

If she needs to save up $300, and she saves up $25 a week, she would still have to save up 12 weeks of work to get that bike.

Explanation:

(w = weeks)

300 = 25 × w

300 ÷ 25 = 12

w = 12
