Question

You want to buy a pet iguana that costs $48. You have $12 and plan to save $9 per week. How many weeks until you have enough money to buy the iguana?

Answer 1

Answer: it'll be 4 weeks until you have enough money to buy the iguana.

Step-by-step explanation: You already started off with 12, and the price of the iguana is $48.

Let's picture it like this. Imagine you draw 4 circles. In each circle you put $9 inside. This leaves us off to 4x9, which is 36.

But the full price of the iguana is $48. So when you add 36 with 12, you get $48.

Answer 2

It will take 4 weeks.

Explanation:

I = 48

12 + 9x = 48

9x = 36

x = 4
