slope-intercept form for the situation . Anakin is saving for a Xbox One. He currently has $165 saved and earns $40 per week doing chores around the house. If an Xbox costs $500 plus 10% sales tax, how long will it take for him to save that amount?

Answer:

10 weeks

Explanation:

10% of 500=50

the total cost Anakin will pay is $550

165+(40*n)=550

n will equal 9.625

You can not have 5/8ths of a week when it comes to being given allowence, so you would round up

It will take Anakin 10 weeks to save up his money to buy an Xbox
