Question

Hillary wants to go on the latin club trip to Italy. It will cost $2,730 for the trip. The trip is 30 weeks away and she wants to make equal weekly payments. How much money altogether does Hillary need to pay at the end of week 8?

Answer 1

First, make the equation where x stands for weekly payments.
30x=2730

Then divide both sides by 30.
x= $91

Then multiply $91 by 8 to get how much Hillary meeds to pay altogether at the end of week 8.
91•8=728

So the answer would be $728

Answer 2

$728.

Explanation:

Let w represent amount of each weekly payment.

We have been given that the trip is 30 weeks away and Hillary wants to make equal weekly payments.

So number of amount paid in 30 weeks would be
`30w`.

We are also told that it will cost Hillary $2,730 for the trip. We can represent this information in an equation as:

`30w=\$2,730`

`(30w)/(30)=(\$2,730)/(30)`

`w=\$91`

Now, we will multiply amount paid per week by 8 as:

`\$91* 8=\$728`

Therefore, Hillary need to pay $728 at the end of week 8.
