Question

Your parents lend you $1,200 to buy a new laptop. You agree to pay them back $25 per week. Which equation shows the amount you still owe your parents?

Answer 1

The equation you would write to represent this situation would be 1200 - 25w = t, where w represents the number of weeks and t is the total amount you still owe.

Another way to think of this is that you owe them a total amount of money but each week you pay 25, that gets taken away from the total you owe them.

Answer 2

Answer: Amount Owed = -25 • Weeks + 1,200
