Question

sebastian was saving $8.50 each week to have enough money for a used phone that costs $122. if his father started him off with $25, which of the following is the minimum number of whole weeks sebastian will need to save?

Answer 1

So to make it easier from the start, subtract 25 from 122, which will give you 97.
Now, divide 97 by 8.50, which will give you 11.4117647.
Now since it said the minimum amount of WHOLE weeks, the answer is 12 weeks.
