Question

Megan and her brother Seth are saving up to buy a DSLR camera. Seth has

saved up $299.99 in his account. Megan set aside her weekly allowance over a
5 week period to buy the camera that cost $699.99. Calculate Megan's weekly
allowance.

Answer 1

Meghan's weekly allowance is $60

Explanation:

The first thing you need to do is know how much the camera is and how much Seth has already. If Seth already has $299.99 and the camera costs $699.99, you need to work out how much more you need.

699.99-299.99=400

$400

You need $299.99 more so you divide that by 5

59.998

Money is in 2 decimal point so you round to two.

Which gives you 60

That way, Meghan has $60 a week
