Question

A bicycle costs $175.

Salvadore has $55 and
plans to save $22 each
month. Describe the
numbers of months he
needs to save to
buy the bicycle.

Answer 1

6 months

Explanation:

x = months

$22 = per month

$55 = started with

y = 175

y = 22x + 55

175 = 22x + 55

175 - 55 = 22x

120 = 22x

120 / 22 = x

x = 5.45

or

x = 6
