Question

Ben makes $5.15 an hour and works about 15 hours a week. If he is saving to buy a video game console that costs $425, in about how many weeks will he be able to buy it if he saves all of his money?

Answer 1

15 x $5.15 = 77.25

so, ben make $77.25 a week

if you do 77.25 x 6 = 463.5

so, he will have to work 6 weeks to have enough money beacause

77.25 x 5 = 386.25 is how much he would ake in 5 weeks wich is not enough money so he has to work 1 more week then he can buy the game console

So, Ben will work about 6 weeks to get enough money to buy the console.
