Lola is saving money for a new bike. The first month, she saves $50 from her birthday. Lola plans to save $10 per month thereaft
er until she has enough money to buy a bike that costs $100. After how many months will Lola have enough money to buy the bike? How much money does Lola have after the first month?
So this can be translated like the following: Bike costs= 173 dollars She currently has 107. She saves 11 dollar per week to get the bike so the formula is: 173 = 107 + 11X where X is the number of weeks
Step 1: bring the 107 to the other side to get 173-107 = 11X Step 2: divide both sides by 11 to solve for X to get this (173-107 )/11 = X Step 3: Calculate and simplify 66 / 11 = X which is the same as X= 6
So the answer is it will take jennifier 6 weeks to save for the bike.
