Question

You currently have a debt of $35. You earn and save $12 per week from your allowance. How

long will it take you to save $85?

Answer 1

10 weeks

Explanation:

12 * 3 = $36 At this point of 3 weeks you will be out of debt.

$12 * 7 weeks = $84 At this point you will be a dollar short, but you had a dollar left over after 3 weeks. This would put you at a total of $85.

So, it would take 3 weeks to get out of debt and 7 to get up to $85.

3 + 7 = 10

A= 10 weeks

Hope this helps! :)
