Question

Shamus owes his parents $162. He pays them 60% of the $45 he earns as a soccer referee each week. How many weeks will it take Shamus to pay back all of the money he owes his parents?

Answer 1

60% of 45 would be 27

He pays his parents $27 each week

Divide 162 and 27

162/27=6

It will take 6 weeks for him to pay back his parents
