Answer 1

18 weeks

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to use an equation to show the number of weeks it took Hugo who received a certain amount in his birthday and continually saved a certain amount before he could gather a certain amount of money.

In this question, we understand that Hugo wants to buy a printer that costs $460. Fortunately, he had his birthday and he received $100 bucks. Now, let’s say the number of weeks he had to save for is w and he saves 20 per week. This means the total amount he hit from his savings would be 20w

Mathematically, we can use the equation below to model this scenario;

100 + 20(w) = 460

20w = 460 - 100

20w = 360

w = 360/20

w = 18 weeks
