Question

Conner saved $400 to buy a new mountain bike. The bike costs $440. Last month, the bike was discounted 10%. Conner decided not to buy the bike at that time, but instead he spent $25 at the movies. The bike is no longer on sale. If Conner saves $20 per month, in how many months will he have enough money again to buy the bike?

Answer 1

4 months.

Explanation:

First you need to subtract the amount Conner spent from the amount Conner had.

We know Conner had $400 and spent $25 at the movies, so 400 - 25 = he has $375

Next, you have to find how much money he has to earn before he can buy the bike again.

We know the bike costs $440 and Conner has $375 so 440 - 375 = $65 needed

Finally we need to determine how many months it will take to earn $65

We know Conner saves $20 a month, and he needs $65, so 65 / 20 = 3.25 But Conner saves $20 a month, so you need to round up to 4 months.

Answer 2

he will save $20 and save $20 okay?
