In the question, we are told that Graham borrowed $10 from his mum to buy a toy. He pays back his mum $2 per week from his allowance. We can find how long will it take for him to pay her below.

Step-by-step explanation

Since Graham is paying back every week, this means that the payback time would be measured in weeks.

We can use the formula below;


\text{Pay back time(w}eeks\text{)=}\frac{\text{Total amount borrowed}}{\text{payment per w}eek}

Thus;


\text{Pay back time(w}eeks\text{)}=(10)/(2)=5weeks

Answer: 5 weeks
