Question

24. Jenna wants to purchase a new guitar for $375. She currently has $45 in her savings account. If she plans to save $35 each week, how many weeks will it take her to save enough money to purchase the guitar? BATTLE .

Answer 1

It will take 10 weeks for the savings to be complete

From what we have, the amount left to complete the payment is 375-45 = $330

Now, she plans to save $35 per week

The number of weeks it will take is the division of these two

Mathematically, that would be;

330/35 = 9.42

From what we have, she cannot finish the savings in 9 weeks

So what will happen here is to extend the payment by a week

Thus, in 10 weeks, she will have enough money to purcahse the guitar
