Kallie has $45.50 saved towards a new bike. If the bike costs $184.76 including tax, how much d

week to be able to buy it in 6 weeks? Kallie starts her solution but does not finish.
184.76-45.50 = 139.26
Which equation would be the second step of this solution?
OX= 139.26-6
X = 6x139.26
X= 8-139.6
%= 6x45.50

Please read the step by step.

Explanation:

184.76 - 45.50 = 139.26.|

If she wants to buy it in six weeks and only needs $139.26 you would need to divide $139.26 by 6 to see how much money she would have to make per week to meet the mark.

$139.26 divided by 6 is $26.21

Therefore Kallie would need to make $26.21 per week to reach her goal.

Looking at the equations none of the provided answers would even come close to the answer above.

1. 139.26 - 6 is not saying if it is a 6.00 or a 0.06 so it could be 133.26 or 139.20 but that wouldn't make any since involving the question.

2. 6 multiplied by 139.26 would be 835.56 but no where was it asked to multiply.

3. 139.6 - 8 isn't even brought up in the question above.

4. 45.50 x 6 is 273 and that would be too much unless tax is unreasonably high but even then it didn't mention what the tax would be. (it would be 47.76% on the dot btw)

In that case your closest bet would have to be 6x45.50 but your teacher is kind of insane to think a middle schooler should have to figure out how much a ungodly sales tax would be out of all of this.

Good luck on your assignment, I am here if you need anything else.
