Question

Minnie owes $350 on her credit card and plans to pay $20 each week to pay it off. Mickey owes $200 on his credit card and plans to pay $10 each

week. Write equations to represent each situation, where x represents the numbers of weeks and y represents how much is left to pay off.

Answer 1

Answer: Minnie: 17x, 10y

Mickey: 20x, 0y

Explanation:

For Minnie, if you divided 350 by 20 it equals 17.5 but since it has to be a whole number we take 0.5 times 20 and that equals 10 so she has to pay off 10 more dollars. For Mickey, we take 200 and divide it by 10 and that equals 20 weeks and since theres no qouteint left there is no more money needed to be paid.

Hope This Helps!
