Question

Jonah wants to buy a new tablet. He starts to save up with the $50 he received for his birthday. He gets an allowance of $12 each week from his parents. Jonah needs to save a total of $110 to buy the tablet he wants.

Which equation can Jonah use to find w, the number of weeks he should save to reach his goal?

Answer 1

50 + 12w = 110

Explanation:

I need no explanation, but if you really need it:

He gets fifty dollars, which goes to his savings.

He gets an allowance of 12 dollars each week, and since there is no specific number amount of weeks, you keep it as the given variable, x.

that 110 dollars is the total

50 + 12w = 110
