Tarik is trying to save $265.49 to buy a new tablet. Right now, he has $40 and can save $38 a week from his allowance. When will Tarik have enough money to buy the tablet?

Answer:

Yo, what kind of cheap china tablet is this dude buying.

Anyways, Your answer is 6 weeks according to my calculations

Explanation:

So this dude already has 40 dollars, so we take that away from the tablet cost

265.49-40=225.49

Then, we divide that new number by 38 dollars to see how many weeks he will need to get that money

225.49/ 38 = 5.93394737

now we round that number up to 6.

bon apetite.
