Price of the digital camera that Maria is buying from layaway = $193
Amount of money that Maria pays as down payment = $25
Amount of money that Maria pays each week = $24
Let us assume the number of weeks required by Maria to pay for the digital camera = x
then
25 + 24x = 193
24x = 193 - 25
24x = 168
x = 168/24
= 7
So Maria will require 7 weeks to pay for the digital camera.
