Question

Jose set a goal of saving at least $200 in a savings account. He currently has $60 in the

account. If he invests $5 of his weekly allowance per week, how many weeks will it
take him to reach his goal?

Answer 1

28 weeks

Explanation:

subtract 60 from 200 to find the amount of money Jose needs to invest. Then, divide by 5 to find the number of weeks it will take him.

Answer 2

It will take him 28 weeks. If he already has $60 of $200 saved, you would do 200 - 60. That would give you 140. To find out how long it would take him to make $140, you would have to do 140 divided by 5 to get the number of weeks.
