Question

You spend 12.55 a week on coffee at the local bakery. How much do you spend annually? If instead you spend on 10 a week, and save 2.55 weekly, how much will you spend on coffee annually? And save?

Answer 1

Hello!

First of all, excluding leap day and all that, there are about 52 weeks in a year. We just multiply.

12.55(52)=652.6

Therefore, you spend $652.6 annually.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems that now we spend $10 a week, and save 2.55 weekly. First of all, we multiply our ten.

10(52)=520

We also multiply our savings.

2.55(52)=132.6

Therefore, you spend $520 annually and save $132.6.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

There are 52 weeks in one yer.

Multiply the amount spent in one week by 52 to get the yearly total

12.55 x 52 = 652.60 per year

If you spend 10 per week, multiply that by 52 to find the total savings.

10 x 52 = 520 per year.

To find the savings subtract the two totals:

652.60 - 520 = 132.60 savings.
