Question

How much more does the student need to save to buy the laptop

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting amount =                             307.50

1 month saving = 100

5 month saving = 5*100                   500.00

Total so far                                         807.50

Let the total amount be x

75% *x = 807.50

75/100 x = 807,59                              Multiply both sides by 100

75 x = 807.50 * 100                          

75 x = 80750                                      Divide by 75.

x = 80750 / 75

x = 1076.67

That is not the answer. That's the total cost of the laptop.

The amount needed is

Amount needed = Total Cost - what has been saved

Amount needed = ????

Total Cost = 1076.67

What has been saved = 807.50

Answer

Amount needed = 1076.67 - 807.50 = 269.17
