Question

Eric is trying to save $37 to buy a gift for his mother. Right now he has $5. He can save $10 a week from mowing lawns and $5 a week from his allowance. What is the least number of weeks that Eric will need to save to have enough money for the gift?

Answer 1

3 weeks. 5+10=15

because in 2 weeks he will have 30 dollars plus the 5 dollars he already has is 35 dollars but, that is not enough he needs one more week.
