Question

Laura is saving money to buy a bike. She has $52 and is going to save an additional $8 each week. The bike costs $164. In how many

weeks will she have enough money to buy the bike?

Answer 1

14 weeks
164-52=112
112/8=14

Answer 2

I would say 14 weeks.

Explanation:

I solved it by subtracting what she already has from the price of the bike. $164-52= 112. Then I divided that by 8 cause she saving $8 a week and you get 14. So in 14 weeks she'll have enough money to buy the bike.
