Question

brandon has $700 in a savings account at the beginning of the year. he withdraws $30 each week to go out to eat. he wants to find out how many weeks he can do this and have at least $150 in the account.

Answer 1

18 weeks

Explanation:

Initial amount stored in savings account = $700

Final minimum amount required in the account = $150.

Thus,

The total amount of money he can spend = (700 - 150) = $550

Each week he is withdrawing $30 to go out to eat.

Since , maximum money he can spend should be multiple of 30 ,

Thus maximum he can spend $540

number of weeks he can do this =
`(540)/(30)`

= 18.

So, he can take out $30 each week to go out to eat for 18 weeks only.
