You can do (85-25) (equals 60) divided by 12 which gives you 5 so this states that Len would need to save up for 5 weeks. Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Lan need to save more than 5 weeks to earn at least $85.00

Explanation:

Given :Lan has $25.00 in his piggy bank,and can save $12.00 from his allowance each week.

To Find : How many weeks will Ian need to save to earn at least $85.00

Solution :

Lan has $25.00 in his piggy bank

He can save per week = $12

Let x be the number of weeks

So, he can save in x weeks = 12x

So,. total saving in x weeks = 25+12x

Now we are given that Ian needs to save at least $85.00

So, Equation becomes :
`25+12x>85`

So,
`25+12x>85`

`12x>60`

`x>5`

Hence Ian need to save more than 5 weeks to earn at least $85.00 .
