Tiyana is saving for a vacation. She wants to have at least $75 for each of the 12 days of her trip. If she saves $ 85 each mont
h for 10 months, will she save enough money? Use mental math to find the total amount she will save. Then write a division equation to see if she will save enough.
Kevin says he can solve this problem a different way. He says that he can compare 85 x 10 and 75 x 12. Do you agree? Explain your thinking.
yes I agree with kevin's thinking because she needs 75 for each of the 12 days so its 12*75 and compare with how she earns 85 dollars each month for ten months which is 85 *10
