Brandon wants to buy a specific baseball bat. He is hoping that he will be able to save enough money to buy it in time for the s
ummer baseball season. The new Super Pro Aluminum Bat costs $179.99 plus 6% sales tax. Brandon has already saved $62.50 from mowing lawns. He will continue his summer job and earn $31.25 per week. How many weeks will it take him to save enough money for the baseball bat?
179.99x 6%= 10.79 179.99 +10.79=190.78 190.78 - 62.50=128.28 dollars that Brandon still needs to buy the baseball hat. 31.25 x 4=125.00 which is not enough. 31.25x5=156.25 so it will take Brandon another 5 weeks to save the rest of the money for the hat.
