Question

Constance is saving money to buy a new bicycle that costs $195.75. She already has $70 saved and plans to save $8 each week. How many weeks will it take her to save enough money to purchase the bicycle? It will take her weeks to save enough money to purchase the bicycle

Answer 1

16 weeks.




Explanation:

195.75=8x+70

Solve by subtracting 70 from both sides then dividing both sides by 8

125.75=8x
15.72=x


Meaning, if you round up it will take her approximately 16 weeks because if she only worked 15 she would be just a little bit short.

Answer 2

It will take her 16 weeks to save enough money to purchase the bicycle
