Question

Dom is saving his money to buy a new baseball glove, which costs $185 including tax. He has already saved $35. Assuming that he saves the same amount for the next 6 weeks. How much must he save each week to buy his new glove?

a) $20
b) $25
c) $30
d) $40

Answer 1

Dom must save $25 each week to buy his new glove.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Dom must save each week to buy his new baseball glove, we need to subtract the amount he has already saved from the total cost of the glove. The cost of the glove is $185 including tax and he has already saved $35. So, the remaining amount he needs to save is $185 - $35 = $150.

Since Dom wants to save the same amount each week for the next 6 weeks, we can divide the remaining amount by 6 to find out how much he must save each week. $150 divided by 6 is $25.

Therefore, Dom must save $25 each week to buy his new glove.
