Question

Xavier starts the summer with $315 in his savings account. Since he will be working a lot this summer, he made plans to deposit $80 into his account each week. If he ended the summer with $955 in his savings account, how many weeks did he make deposit?

Answer 1

Answer: 8 weeks

Explanation:

He originally had $315 in his account. This figure increased to $955. It therefore increased by:

= 955 - 315

= $640

If he deposited $80 every week, the number of weeks it would take to deposit $640 is:

= 640/80

= 8 weeks
