Question

Drake wants to save $750 so that he can take a class on computer analysis for cars. The class is being held on various dates over the next several months. Drake is planning to take the class 6 weeks from now, so he plans to save $125 each week. Unfortunately, Drake had to take out a little money from his savings in the 3rd week. After 4 weeks, Drake has $470. He knows that he must adjust his plan in order to meet his goal. Drake came up with the following options: Option A: Stay with saving the original amount each week but take the class a week later than originally planned. Option B: Increase the amount of money he saves each week by $15 from his original plan. Which of the following is a true statement? a. Only option A will allow him to meet his goal. b. Only option B will allow him to meet his goal. c. Both options A and B will allow him to meet his goal. d. Neither option A nor option B will allow him to meet his goal.

Answer 1

The answer here is C. both options will allow him to meet his goal. hope this helped

Answer 2

answer- C

total money required = 750

total money saved = 470

weeks left = 2

money earned in each week = 125

money earned in 2 weeks = 250

470 + 250 = 720( so, drake is short of 30 )

option A- by postponing the classes for 1 week, he will earn 125 more, so it is an option to meet his goal as 125>30

option B- by increasing the savings by 15 for two weeks, he will save 30 more which is the amount drake needs. so , it is also a good option
