Question

Jackie must have at least $500 in her savings account to avoid a fee from the bank. She has $762 in her savings account now. Each week, she makes a $45 withdrawal. For how many weeks can she make this withdrawal and avoid a fee? ​

Answer 1

5 weeks before her balance falls below $500.

Explanation:

Since you can't have a fraction of a week, Jackie can make a $45 withdrawal for a maximum of 5 weeks before her balance falls below $500, and she incurs a fee.
