Question

Kevin has $450 in his bank account now and is spending $150 per week. How long will it take for him to empty his bank account completely?

a) 2 weeks
b) 3 weeks
c) 4 weeks
d) 5 weeks

Answer 1

It will take Kevin 3 weeks to empty his bank account completely.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kevin has $450 in his bank account and spends $150 per week. So, he will spend $150 in the first week and his balance will be $450 - $150 = $300.

In the second week, he will spend another $150, leaving his balance at $300 - $150 = $150.

In the third week, he will spend the final $150, resulting in a balance of $150 - $150 = $0.

Therefore, it will take 3 weeks for Kevin to empty his bank account completely.
