Question

Veronica wants to buy a new bicycle. The bicycle costs $310. Veronica

opened a savings account with $50. She also got a job and plans to
save $20 a week. How long will it take her to save up enough money
for the bike?

Answer 1

Explanation:

bicycle cost= 310

initial money in savings account= 50

additional money saved per week = 20

number of weeks = w

you have to set up an equation

The equation is...

bicycle cost = additional money saved × w + initial money

Substitute the values

310 = 20w + 50

Solve for w

310 - 50 = 20w +50 - 50

260 = 20w

260÷ 20 = 20w÷ 20

13 = w

It will take 13 weeks for her to have enough money for her bicycle

I hope this helps!!!
