r 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?

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.
A:40% If you put 60 over 150 and x(percent of students) over 100 and cross multiply 100 and 60, you will get 6000. You then divide that by 150 which leaves you with 40 as x and 40 over 100 is 40%.
