Answer 1

167.36 weeks

Explanation:

Given: Currently has $180, the cost is $860, and he plans to save $68 a week

To find: How many weeks will it take to save his money

Solution: If Barry currently has $180 and needs $860 for his tires also saves $68 a week, divide the amount he wants to save by the amount he saves a week, to find how many weeks will it take to save his money

860 ÷ 68 = 12.64

Subtract 180 because he already has $180 saved currently

180 - 12.64 = 167.36

Hence, it will take approximately 167 weeks to save his money up to $860
