Question

You decide to start saving money. You start with $0 and after 8 weeks, you have $120. You're not sure how much you save each week, but assume that you saved your money at a constant rate from when you started through the 8th week.

Answer 1

Answer: $15 per week

Explanation:

Okay, so basically this problem is asking how much money would you save each week for a period of 8 weeks and your total at the end is $120.

All one must do is take $120 then divided it by 8 weeks.

120/8 = 15

So therefore, you make 15 dollars a week at a constant rate.

Answer 2

Answer: $15/week

Explanation:

If you started with $0 and saved money at a constant rate for 8 weeks, ending up with $120, you can find out how much you saved each week by dividing the total amount saved by the number of weeks.

Total amount saved: $120

Number of weeks: 8

To find the amount saved per week:

$120 / 8 = $15

So, you saved $15 per week at a constant rate for 8 weeks.
