Answer 1

c

Explanation:

c

Answer 2

Equation which can be used to find the number of weekly payments w

is 300 = 60 + 3 w.

Explanation:

Here, the selling price of the TV =$300

The initial TV payment = $60

Per week payment of TV = $30

The number of weeks, the payment is made = w

So, the amount paid for TV in w weeks = w x ( Payment in 1 week)

= w x ( $30) = 30 w

So, The total SP of TV = Initial Payment + Payment made in w weeks

⇒ 300 = 60 + 3w

Hence, equation which can be used to find the number of weekly

payments w is 300 = 60 + 3 w.
