Johnny needs to save $24.00 to buy a new video game. Three weeks after saving, he has $6.00. After 6 weeks, he has $12.00. If Johnny continues to save at this rate, how many total weeks will he have saved money to reach his goal?
He will need to save up for 12 weeks because he is getting 2 dollars a week. It says after 3 weeks he saved 6, so divide six by three and the answer meaning he makes 2 a week. Next divide 24 by 2 and you get 12.
