Question

Emily is trying to reduce her household costs. In the first week she spent £60 on entertainment, reducing this to £58 in the second week, £56 in the third week and so on. How much will she have spent on entertainment in total after 6 weeks? (Your answer should be a number, without units

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that the amount spent on entertainment decreases by £2 each week. So, we can calculate the total amount spent by adding up the amounts spent in each of the 6 weeks:

£60 + £58 + £56 + £54 + £52 + £50 = £330

Therefore, Emily will have spent a total of £330 on entertainment after 6 weeks.
