Question

Jennifer is saving money to buy a bike. The bike costs $255. She has $101 saved, and each week she adds

$14 to her savings.
How long will it take her to save enough money to buy the bike?
It will take her
weeks to save for the bike.

Answer 1

11 weeks

Explanation:

101 + 12x = 225

101 + 12x - 101 = 225 - 101

12x = 124

x = 10 1/3

Since you can't have 1/3 of a week it will be 11 weeks
