Question

Derek saves 10% of his paycheck each week to buy a mountain bike the mountain bike costs 340.00 Derek receives a paycheck in the amount of $280.50 each week how many paychecks will Derek have to receive before he has saved enough money to buy the mountain bike

Answer 1

Answer: 13 weeks

Explanation:

First you have to find 10% of 340.00 which is 28, so each week he saves 28.00 for his bike. To find how many paychecks he has to recieve you divide 340.00 by 28.00, which is 12.1, since there is a decimal place you have to round it up to 13 because it is a little bit more than 12 paychecks. ;)
