Question

Marianna wants to buy a new tennis racket that costs $57.50. She has $8 and plans to save $4.50 each week. How many weeks will it take her to save the money?

Answer 1

4.5x+8=57.5
-8 -8
4.5x=49.5
x=11

11 weeks

Answer 2

57.50 - 8 = 49.50 more she needs to save

49.50 / 4.50 = 11

she needs to save for 11 weeks
