Question

3. Simone wants to buy a handbag that costs $168.00. She currently smokes two packs of cigarettes per week. If she stops smoking and saves that money, how many weeks will it take her to buy the handbag?

Answer 1

The average price for a pack of cigarettes is $6.50, 6.5*2 = $13 so lets use that.

Simone would need to save about 13 weeks worth of cigarette packs to have enough to buy a handbag.

Step-by-step explanation:

I searched up the average price of a cigarette pack in the U.S. They cost around $6.50 per pack. $6.50*2 = $13 for 2 packs of cigarettes.

Then i divided $168 and $13 which would be 12.923.

12.923 rounded to the nearest whole number is 13.
