Please help I will mark as brilliant answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 weeks .

Step-by-step explanation:

24 x 12 = 288 . 24 x 13 = 312 .

500 - 288 = 212 . 500 - 312 =188 .

its 12 because if you do 13 its to below the price so you'll have some change left .

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if he has 500 and wants to have 200 left subtract 500-200=300

then if he spends 24 each week divide 300/24=12.5

the maximum number is 12 because cant have a remainder

at the end of the summer he would have 212 left.. 12x24=288..500-288=212
