Question

Olivia is saving money for a vacation. She started her savings with $50 and is now saving the same amount each week. After 6 weeks, she has saved $140. How much money is Olivia saving each week?

Answer 1

Answer: She is earning $15 a week.

Explanation:

Since she started with 50 dollars you need to subtract. So 140-50=90. Since she has been saving for 6 weeks, you need to divde, so 90÷6=15.
