9.69%
14.73%
O 21.76%
31.28%

Answer 1

14.73%

Explanation:

firstly let's divide the phone price into 7 equal parts. by this equation 219.00/7=31.28

So Alec needs to save $31.28 but we want the percentage.

by equation x%*212.34=31.28

x=(31.28*100)/212.34=3128/212.34=14.73

so Alec needs to save 14.73% of 212.34 each week.
