Question

Stacy wants to go on a vacation that will cost her at least $1540. She has $1825 saved but has

$65 deducted every week from her paycheck to pay for her insurance. At most, how many
weeks can she have these deductions made in order to afford her vacation

Answer 1

4 weeks

Explanation:

First,, we should subtract the vacation price from her savings to get the base. That is 1835-1540=295. Then we can do 295/65,, and then we get 4 7/13. So,, she can only afford 4 weeks of these deductions in order to have enough money for her vacation.
