Question

Robert is putting money into his bank account every week when he gets his pay check. He has $200 in his account already. If he puts $50 in each week, how long will it take him to reach $5,000? what is the equation?

Answer 1

you can set up a porportion of 200/50 then x/5000 so then 200 x 5000= 1,000,000 divided by 200 then it will equal 500 so the answer is 500
