herky is putting money into a savings account on a weekly basis to buy a dvd player that costs $179.40 including tax. he asks mario how much he should save per week to buy the player in 8 weeks if he already has $35.00 saved. mario gives him the answer and explains how he found the answer. what does mario say?

Answer 1

35 + 8w = 179.40
8w = 179.40 - 35
8w = 144.40
w = 144.40/8
w = 18.05 per week
