Question

Steven wants to buy a $565 bicycle. Steven has no money saved, but will be able to deposit $30 into a savings account when he receives his paycheck each Friday. However, before Steven can buy the bike, he must give his sister $65 that he owes her. For how many weeks will Steven need to deposit money into his savings account before he can pay back his sister and buy the bike?

Answer 1

Ok First $565 just for a bike? lol. But anyway he gets $30 each Friday but he has to pay his sister $65 first so if you just add $65 to $565 you'll get the total amount he needs which is $630 then divide that by the $30 he gets each week and you'll get 21 weeks

Answer 2

30w = 565 + 65
30w = 630
w = 630/30
w = 21 weeks <=== he's got a while to go
