Question

Steven wants to buy a $580 bicycle. Steven has no money saved, but will be able to deposit $30 into a savings account when he receives his paycheck each Friday. However, before Steven can buy the bike, he must give his sister $80 that he owes her. For how many weeks will Steven need to deposit money into his savings account before he can pay back his sister and buy the bike?

Answer 1

$30 + $30 = $60

$60 + $30 = $90

To pay back his sister the $80 he will to deposit money into his account for 3 weeks.

Since Steven would have $10 left over in his account from paying his sister all he needs now is $570.

You need to divide:

$570/$30 = 19

So Steven will need to deposit $30 into his bank account for 19 weeks to be able to buy the $580 bicycle.

Hope this Helps!!
