Question

Patty needs a total of $80 to buy a bicycle. She has already saved $35. If she saves $10 a week from her earnings, what is the least number of weeks she must work to have enough money to buy the bicycle?

Answer 1

5 weeks

Explanation:

She would need to work at least 8 weeks because the bicycle is $80 and she has $35.

Answer 2

5 weeks

Explanation:

i took 80 - 35 to get 45 (money she still needs)

then took 45 divided by 10 to get 4.5 ( how many weeks till she has the money)

and if you get 10 dollars per week and its asking how many weeks

you have to up the 4 by one because it has a .5

so it would be 5 weeks
