Question

Jeff makes $5.00 every day, from which he must spend $3.00 for various expenses. Pete

makes $10.00 a day but has to spend $7.00 each day for expenses. If the two of them
save together, how long will it take before they can buy a $150 car?

Answer 1

30 days.

Explanation:

5.00-3=2

10-7=3

3+2=5

150÷5=30

Answer 2

1) $5 - $3 =$2
2) $10 - $7=$3
3 )$2 + $3 =$5 each day
4) $150 divided by $5 = 30 days to buy a car
