Question

Will works 7 hours a day, 6 days a week.
He is paid £9.20 an hour.
He is sharing his wages with his mum in the ratio 5:2.
Will is saving to buy a car.
How many weeks will it take him to afford a car worth £1932?

Answer 1

A day
= £9.20x7
= £64.40

6 days
£64.40x6= £386.40

The wages he has after he shared it with his mom
£386.40/7x5
= 55.20x5
= £276

£1932/£276= 7

It will take him 7 weeks to afford a car worth £1932.

Answer 2

Answer:

7 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

7x6=42 hours a week

42x£9.20=£386.40 weekly

W : M

5  :  2

5+2=7

386.40/7=£55.20

55.20x 5=£276

£1932/£276= 7 weeks
