Question

Aubree makes $25 a week helping her mom with her siblings. She wants to buy a computer that cost $500. How many weeks will it take her to have enough money to buy the computer?

Answer 1

20 weeks

Explanation:

This question, luckily, can be solved with a very simple algebraic expression.

Let w = the amount of weeks.

`25w = 500`

So from here, we need to divide both sides by 25 to get w by itself:
`w = 20`

Therefore, it will take Aubree 20 weeks to have enough money to buy the computer.
