Question

Deandre needs a total of $380 to buy a new bicycle. He has $35 saved. He earns $15 each week delivering newspapers. How many weeks will Deandre have to deliver papers to have enough money to buy the bicycle?

Answer 1

Deandre will have to deliver papers for another 23 weeks
You get this answer by solving this equation: $380-$35/$15=23
And to make sure this is accurate u can just multiply $15 by 23 and you’ll get $345
But you have to be sure that you add the money that he already made!

Answer 2

If he need 380 to buy the bike but already has35, the he needs 380-35 = 345 more.  if he makes 15 a week delivering papers, divide 345 by 15 to get the number of weeks it will take to save.  345/15=23  23 weeks
