Question

You want to buy a used pair of skis for $116. You already have $43.50 saved and plan to save an additional $7.25 every week. How many weeks do you need to save before you can purchase the skis?

Answer 1

You need to save for 10 weeks before you can purchase the skis.

Explanation:

43.5 + 7.25x = 116

7.25x = 116 - 43.5

7.25x = 72.5

x = 72.5/7.25

x = 10
