Question

You are saving money for a summer camp that cost $1800. You have saved $500 so far, and you have 14 more weeks to save the total amount. What are the possible average amounts of money that can save per week to have a total of at least $1800 saved?​

Answer 1

Answer: $92. 86, or rounded to the neared dollar $93.00 a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing you must do when solving math word probelms is to read it carfully, then take out all the number and say what they all stand for:

1800 = the amount of money you need.

500 = the amount of money you have.

14 = how many weeks you have left.

Now that you have your numbers layed out we must for the equation:

So we know that you have 500 dollars right now:

500

And let’s say x is how many weeks you have left:

500 + 14x

We also know that the sum of those two numbers are equal to the amount of money that you need:

500 + 14x = 1800

Now that we have the equation, we must solve it:

500 + 14x = 1800

Subtract the 500( the money we have) with 1800( the money we need):

14x = 1300

Now we must divide 14 by 1300:

x = 92. 86

We now have you answer: you must make $92. 86 each week to be able to go to your camp.

Hope this helps! :)
