Question

Bao saved $179 a month. He saved $145 less than Ada each month. How much would Ada save in three and a half years?

Answer 1

If i am correct, the answer should be 13608.
To find out how much Ada saved a month, we would need to add 179 and 145, that equals 324. Then we would need to multiply that by 12 because there are 12 months in a year. We would get 3888. Then we would need to multiply that by 3, since there are 3 years. We would get 11664. Then we would need to multiply 324 and 6 for 324 dollars a month. That gives us 1944. Then we add 1944 and 11664, we get 13608. :)

Answer 2

Ada would save $13,608 in three and half year  (42 months)

• Amount saved by Bao a month = 179  
• What Ada saved = what Bao saved + $145

Further Explanation

Step 1:

To calculate what Ada saved:

• Let X represents = Bao  
• Y represents = Ada

Therefore,  

X = 179  

Y = X + $145

Therefore we have:

Y = 179 + 145

Y = 324

Therefore, Ada saved 324 each month.

Step 2:

To determine how much Ada saved in 3 years and a half, we have to first convert $3\frac{1}{2}$ years into months

• 3 years is same as 36 months
• Half a year is same as 6 months

Therefore, we have:

36 + 6

= 42 months

Therefore, how much Ada saved in 42 months = what Ada saved each month multiply Y= (324) by the total number of months (42)

Therefore we have:

Y = 324 x 42

Y = $13,608

So, Ada saved $13,608 in three and half years  (42 months)
