Question

Peter is saving money to buy an MP3 Player. After one month, he has $50. After two months he has $85. After three months, he has $120. He plans to keep saving at the same rate. How long will it take Peter to save enough money to buy an MP3 Player that costs $295?

Answer 1

Answer:

9 months

Step-by-step explanation:

peter is saving 35 dollars per month.  

295=35x

295/35=8.42 which is less than 295

9 is an approximate answer

35*9 equals 315, which is enough to pay 295 and have 20 dollars left over
