Question

Ms. Kendrick plans to buy a laptop for $1,345 in 12 weeks. She has already saved $145. How much should she save each week so she can buy the laptop?

Answer 1

Subtract how much she has saved from the total

1345 - 145 = 1200

She needs to save $1,200 in 12 weeks, now divide thow much she needs to save by the number of weeks to find how much she needs to save each week:

1200 / 12 = 100

She needs to save $100 per week.
