Question

It took Fred 17 days to save $36.55. At that rate, how long would it take him to save $70.95?

Answer 1

Answer:

Fred would take 33 days to save $ 70.95.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of days ($t$) is directly proportional to the quantity of money saved ($c$), in monetary units, then we can calculate the time taken to save $ 70.95 by simple rule of three:

$t = 17\,d\,\times \frac{\ \,70.95}{\ \,36.55}$

$t = 33\,d$

Fred would take 33 days to save $ 70.95.
