Question

Mina is saving up his money to buy a television that costs $400.25. Right now he has $115.00, and can save $31.00 each week.

How many weeks will it take for Mayato to have enough money to buy the television?

Answer 1

10 weeks

Explanation:

400.25 - 115 = 285.25

So he really only needs $285.25. So then we have to divide 285.25 ÷ 31 to find out how many weeks it will take to get to $285.25

285.25 ÷ 31 = 9.2

But you have to round it up to the nearest week. So the answer would be 10 weeks

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

400.25 - 115.00 = 285.25

285.25/31 = 9.2016129....≈ 10 weeks
