Question

Jackie has $185 saved. She is able to save $25 more each week. After how

many weeks will she have $310 saved to buy a new game console?

Answer 1

Answer: 5 weeks

Explanation:

Let the number of week taken to save $310 be represented by a.

The information given in the question can be represented in a equation as:

$185 + $25a = $310

$25a = $310 - $185

$25a = $125

a = $125/$25

a = 5

Jackie will be able to save $310 after 5 weeks
