Question

Hii!!

can someone help me with this problem.
Jenna has $30 in her bank account. She needs more than $250 to buy a new pair of sneakers. She is able to save $20 per week. Let w represent the number of weeks she saves. How many weeks will she need to save before she has enough money for the sneakers?

Answer 1

11 weeks

Explanation:

The equation would be 20w + 30 = 250

so, we need to solve w.

20w + 30 = 250

- 30 - 30

20w = 220

___ ____

20 20

w = 11

Answer 2

30+20w=250

w=11

Explanation:

To do this, write this equation because 30 is what she had and 20w is the weeks. We don't know the weeks so use w. Finally, put=250

30+20w=250

To solve this, do 250-30=220

So 20w=220

Divide 220/20

W=11
