Answer 1

C. 300=60+30w

Explanation:

Given:

Price of television-$300

Initial Payment-$60

Weekly payments-$30

Let weekly payments be w:

The initial payment plus the weekly installments should be equivalent to the television price:

`300=60+30w\\\\240=30w\\\\w=8`

The number of weekly payments is 8 weeks and the equation to solve for w is

300=60+30w
