Question

Constance is saving money to buy a new bicycle that costs $195.75 she already has $40 saved and plans to save $8 each week how many weeks will it take her to save enough money to purchase the bicycle ?

Answer 1

195.75/8= 24.47. 40/8=5 24.47-5= 19.47.

19.47

Answer 2

20 weeks (Exactly 19.46 weeks)

Explanation:

Given,

Total cost of the bicycle = $195.75

Saved Money = $40

Remaining amount required = 195.75 - 40 = $155.75

Time taken to save $8 = 1 week

Time taken to save $1 =
`(1)/(8)`

Thus, time taken to save $155.75 is

`=(1)/(8)* 155.75`

`=19.46`

Constance will need to save $8 for around 20 weeks to save enough money to buy the bicycle.
