Question

Andrew wants to save enough money for a down payment on a car. He needs $2600. He saves $50 per week. How long will it take him to save $2600?

Answer 1

It will take Andrew approximately 1 year to save $2600 at a rate of $50 per week.

Explanation:

To determine how long it will take Andrew to save $2600, we can divide the total amount he needs to save by the amount he saves per week.

Andrew saves $50 per week, and he needs to save $2600.

Dividing $2600 by $50 gives us:

$2600 ÷ $50 = 52

Therefore, it will take Andrew 52 weeks to save $2600.

To express this in terms of years, we can divide the number of weeks by the number of weeks in a year:

52 weeks ÷ 52 weeks/year = 1 year

So, it will take Andrew approximately 1 year to save $2600 at a rate of $50 per week.
