Question

Jasmine's plane ticket cost $466.88. She has already saved 25% of the cost of the ticket. During the next 2 weeks, she will save 1/2 of the remaining cost of the ticket. How much money will she save during each of the next 2 weeks

Answer 1

Answer: She would save $175.08 during each of the next 2 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jasmine's plane ticket cost $466.88. She has already saved 25% of the cost of the ticket. This means that the amount that she already saved is

25/100 × 466.88 = $116.72

The amount remaining would be

466.88 - 116.72 = $350.16

During the next 2 weeks, she will save 1/2 of the remaining cost of the ticket. This means that the amount that she would save during each of the next 2 weeks is

1/2 × 350.16 = $175.08
