Question

Martha wants to go to band camp this summer that costs $103.50 she has $10 and plans to save $5.50 each week. How many weeks will it take her to save the money? In algebra pls

Answer 1

19 weeks

Explanation:

You'll be looking for an equation the form of

y=mx+b

Given:

b = $103.50

m = $5.50

x = ? (where x is in weeks)

Next, set y = 0

--> mx+b = 0

Rearrange

x = (-b/m)

Plug in b and m:

x = (-(-103.5)/5.5) = 18.818

Rounding up, it will Martha 19 weeks to save enough money.
