Jen borrowed $1500 from her parents for car repairs. She plans to take 10% of her $450 weekly income to pay them back. At this rate how many weeks will it take her to pay off the loan?

What you're going to do is take 10% of $450.
450x0.10= 45

Jen is going to pay her parents back that amount and they want to know how long it will take so you will divide the amount borrowed by the result in the first equation.
1500/45= 34

I rounded up because you cant get a fraction of a week
