Question

Randall is saving money to buy a bicycle. He has $37.80 in his saving account and saves 20% of his paper route earnings each week. After 10 weeks, he has $87.80 in his saving account. How much does Randall earn each week from his paper route ?

A: $25.00
B: $17.56
C: $7.56
D: $5.00

Answer 1

In 10 weeks he saved: 87.8-37.8= $50

so each week he saves 50/10= $5

Explanation:

So every week he earns 5*100 / 20= $25
