Question

A girl saved $13.50 in 6 weeks. at that rate, how long will it take to save $108?

Answer 1

48 weeks to save $108

Explanation:

$13.50 = 6 weeks so dividing both sides by 6 would find out how much each week

$13.50 / 6 = 6 / 6 weeks

$2.25 = per week

so $2.25 times _____ = $108

2.25x = 108 divided both side by 2.25 to get x alone

x is defined by the number of weeks

2.25x / 2.25 = 108 / 2.25

x = 48 $2.25 times 48 = $108
