Question

Sharon’s brother has saved a total of $450 for a phone. He has earned $90 from his parents plus $60 each week from his job. How many weeks has he been saving?

Answer 1

Let's start by subtracting the $90 that he earned from his parents from the total amount he has saved:

$450 - $90 = $360

Next, we can divide the remaining amount by the amount he earns each week from his job:

$360 ÷ $60/week = 6 weeks

Therefore, Sharon's brother has been saving for 6 weeks.

Answer 2

6 weeks

Explanation:

$450 - $90(from parents) = $360

$360 ÷ $60(from job) = 6

He's been saving money for "6 weeks".
