Answer 1

Answer:

Ivan needs to save $320.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ivan is saving money to buy a computer.

He started his savings with $225.

First week he added $75, the second week he added $200, the third week he had to take out $50 and the fourth week he added $125.

225 + 75 + 200 - 50 + 125

= $575

The cost of computer is $895

Now he needs to save = 895 - 575

                                     = $320

Ivan needs to save $320.

Answer 2

225+75+200-50+125=x. 300+200-50+125=x 500-50+125=x. 450+125=x. 575=x 895-575=320 dollars left to save.
