Question

Nubia is keeping track of how much money she saves she has $60 saved and saves another $15 each week how long will it take nubia to save enough to buy a pair of $180 sneakers

Answer 1

x= weeks
15x+60=180
-60 -60
15x=180
/15 /15
x=12
12 weeks

Answer 2

To determine how long it will take for Nubia to save enough to buy a pair of $180 sneakers, we can set up an equation based on the given information.

Let's denote the number of weeks it will take as "x."

Nubia saves an additional $15 each week, so the total amount she saves after x weeks can be represented as:
Total savings = $60 + $15x

We want the total savings to be equal to or greater than the cost of the sneakers, which is $180:

$60 + $15x ≥ $180

To solve for x, we can subtract $60 from both sides of the equation:

$15x ≥ $120

Dividing both sides of the equation by $15 gives us:

x ≥ 8

Therefore, it will take Nubia at least 8 weeks to save enough money to buy the $180 sneakers.
