Question

How long will it take Bonita to save $1,000 for a down payment on a car if she makes $40 a night babysitting and she typically babysits every Friday and Saturday?

Answer 1

It will take Bonita 12.5 weeks to save $1,000 from babysitting, earning $80 per week by working every Friday and Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

You're asking how long it will take for Bonita to save $1,000 if she's making $40 per night babysitting every Friday and Saturday. To solve this, we first calculate Bonita's weekly earnings by multiplying $40 by 2, since she works two nights a week. This gives us $80 per week.

Next, we determine how many weeks it will take for her to save $1,000. We divide the total amount Bonita wants to save, $1,000, by her weekly earnings, $80.

$1,000 / $80 = 12.5

Therefore, it will take Bonita 12.5 weeks to save enough for the car down payment. This means she will take a little over 3 months, assuming she can save all her earnings from babysitting.
