Shawna has $750 in the bank. She deposits $37.50 each week. Ruben has $850 in the bank. He deposits his paycheck of $102.75 ever y Monday, and he spends about $70.25 each week. After how many weeks will they have the same amount of money in the bank?
1 answer:
I came up with something but not sure at all, so if you don't get anything better, check with your teacher to see if it makes any sense! After spendings Ruben deposits $32.5 So I ask; After how many of Shawna's $37.5 deposit + $750 will be equal to how many of Ruben's $32.5 + $850 i.e. 37.5x + 750 = 32.5x + 850 37.5x - 32.5x = 850 - 750 5x = 100 x = 20 weeks I check this Ruben = 32.5x20wks + 850 = 1500 for Shawna = 37.5x20wks + 750 = 1500 It actually checks out. Good luck..

You just move the decimal place over twice. Ex: 76% = 0.76
S=75+10x is the correct answer
It will be D. because you have to add the like terms which is 13 + 5 which will be 18 and so 10p doesn't have no like terms it just stays the same so it will be 10p+18
