Question

I save 26$ each week. I started with 65$ saved. If I want to buy a bike that costs $273, how many weeks will I have to save

Answer 1

Time = 8 weeks

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Savings = $23

Savings made = $65

Cost of bike = $273

To find the amount required to purchase the bike;

Balance = cost of bike - savings made

Balance = 273 - 65

Balance = $208

Next, we find the number of weeks required to save $208 (balance).

Time = balance/savings

Time = 208/23

Time = 8 weeks
