Riley is saving up to buy a new television. She needs a total of $1,372.35. Riley has saved $200.55 already and earns $78.12 per week at her job. How many weeks does Riley need to work to save enough money to buy the new television? A. 14 B. 16 C. 15

Answer 1

Answer: C. 15

Step-by-step explanation: You take the total amount that she needs: $1,372.35 and you subtract $200.55. Then you are left with $1171.1. This is the amount that she needs still. Then you take $78.12 and multiply it by 15. You get $1171.8. Then when you add $200.55 and $1171.8 you get $1171.1.
