Question

Irene needs a total of $250 to buy a bicycle. She has already saved $70. If she saves $10 a

week from her earnings, what is the least number of weeks she must work to have enough
money to buy the bicycle?

Answer 1

18 Weeks

Explanation:

The least amount of weeks that Irene must work in order to buy the bike is 18. To find your answer, subtract $70 from $250. You will get $180. This is the amount of money that Irene still needs to earn. If she saves her money for 18 weeks, she will have her $180. This is because $180 divided by $10 is 18.

Answer 2

18 weeks

Explanation:

250 - 70 = 180

180/10 = 18 weeks
