Question

Hannah wants to buy a $540 camera. She can save $40 each week from her paycheck. However, before Hannah can buy the camera, she must give her brother $60 that she owes him. For how many weeks will Hannah need to save before she can pay back her brother and buy the camera?

Answer 1

Answer:

w = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Create formula:

540 = 40w - 60 where 540 is the cost of the camera, 40 is the amount saved, w is the number of weeks, 60 is the amount owed

Solve for w

540 = 40w - 60: subtract 60

480 = 40w: divide by 40

w = 12
