Question

Natalie saves $35 each month to buy a DVD player. The DVD player

costs $197.99. Will Natalie be able to buy the DVD player in 5 months?
If not, how much more money does she need?

Answer 1

Multiply amount she saves per month by 5 months:

35 x 5 = $175

$175 is less than the price of the player so she won’t have enough to buy it.

197.99 - 175 = $22.99

She needs $22.99.more
