Question

Jas has 145 dollars in her savings account she earns 36 dollars a week mowing lawns if jas saves all of her money after how many weeks will she have 433 saved

Answer 1

Answer:

8 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have jas starting with 145 dollars.

her adds 36 a week to savings.

The total savings we need to get to is 433 dollars.

Let w = weeks needed to get to goal

145 + 36w = 433

Subtract 145 from both sides:

36w = 433 - 145

Simplify:

36w = 288

Divide both sides by 36:

w = 288/36

w = 8

After 8 weeks, jas will have saved 433 dollars.

Check for truth:

145 + 36(8) = 433

145 + 288 = 433

433 = 433 ; check
