Patricia wants to buy a pair of jeans for $240. She has saved $30 each week for 3 weeks. How many more weeks does Patricia need to save money if she continues to save $30 each week?

Respuesta :

Since Patricia already saved $30 each week for 3 weeks, she already saveld a total of:

[tex]3\cdot30=90[/tex]

$90.

So, from the $240 total it is still left for her to save:

[tex]240-90=150[/tex]

$150.

Since she will continue to save $30 per week, we can divide 150 by 30 to get the total number of weeks she needs:

[tex]\frac{150}{30}=5[/tex]

So, this means she needs to save money for 5 more weeks.
