Question

Anastasia has a part-time job and earns the same amount of money each week. She decided to deposit all her

weekly earnings in a savings account, which originally had $225. After making deposits for 11 weeks, she
had $665 in her account. How much money will be in her account after 24 weeks? Show how you arrived at
your answer.

Answer 1

We can start by finding how much money Anastasia saves each week.

The difference between her starting balance and ending balance after 11 weeks is:

$665 - $225 = $440

So, over 11 weeks, Anastasia has saved a total of $440.

To find how much money she saves each week, we can divide the total savings by the number of weeks:

$440 ÷ 11 weeks = $40 per week

This means that Anastasia saves $40 each week.

To find out how much money she will have in her account after 24 weeks, we can multiply the amount she saves each week by the number of weeks:

$40 per week × 24 weeks = $960

Therefore, after 24 weeks, Anastasia will have $960 in her savings account.
