Question

7. Jenny is saving to buy a laptop worth $960. Her parents promise to match every $3 saved

Answer 1

First off, if you divide $960/$8, you will get 120 “sets” of payment. Multiply this value by the amount of money Jenny is responsible for paying and the amount her parents are responsible for paying to find their total contributions.

a. Jenny will have to pay $600

b. Jenny’s parents will contribute $360 to her new laptop.
