Answer 1

Cost of a television Ms. Singh wants to buy = £840

Ms. Singh's weekly wage = £300

Money she saves each week :

= 40% of her weekly wage

`=\tt 40\% \: of \: 300`

`= \tt (40)/(100) * 300`

`=\tt (40 * 300)/(100)`

`=\tt (12000)/(100)`

`\color{plum} = \tt£120`

Thus, Ms. Singh's weekly savings = £120

Number of weeks in which she will be able to buy a TV :

`= \tt (840)/(120)`

`\color{plum} =\tt 7 \: weeks`

Therefore, Ms. Singh will be able to buy a TV from her savings in 7 weeks.
