Question

You want to purchase a new bike that costs $125.99. To save for the bike, you mow your neighbor's yard for $40 each week. How much money will you have left over if you buy the bike after saving for 4 weeks?

Answer 1

Answer: $34.01

Explanation:

To get the answer, we must first add up the entire amount of money saved after four weeks of mowing the neighbor's lawn, then subtract the bike's price.

Since we get $40 a week, after 4 weeks we will have saved the following:

40 × 4 = 160

We will therefore have $160 to spend on the bike. The bike costs $125.99, so we will have the following amount of money after purchasing the bike:

160 - 125.99 = 34.01

Therefore, after purchasing the bike, we will have $34.01 leftover.
