Question

Calvin has $360 less in his savings account than he had 8 weeks ago. Each

Answer 1

Answer:

Calvin withdraws $ 60 each week

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Calvin's account balance difference than 8 weeks ago = - $ 360

Weekly amount Calvin deposits = $ 15

Number of weeks to compare = 8

2. What was his average withdrawal  each week?

Let's calculate the weekly average withdrawal this way:

Weekly average withdrawal = [Calvin's account balance difference than 8 weeks ago - (Weekly amount Calvin deposits * Number of weeks to compare)]/Number of weeks to compare

Replacing with the values given:

Weekly average withdrawal = [-360 - (15 * 8)]/8

Weekly average withdrawal = -360 - 120 / 8

Weekly average withdrawal = -480 / 8

Weekly average withdrawal = -60

Calvin withdraws $ 60 each week
