Answer:
After 4 weeks they have $413
After 5 weeks they have $485 (more than enough money)
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that here are 3 people saving up this money and we know that they have already saved 125 dollars.
if each saves $24 per week... 24*3=72 (total profit per week)
for 4 weeks... 72*4=288
288+125(already saved up)= 413
If they go one more week and save up another 72 dollars in 1 week this will bring them past their goal
Addition: -9 + -2 = -11
Substraction: -9 - 2 = -11
Work backwards. If there were 14 at the end, then multiply this by 3/2 because 2/3 of the marbles were given to Sam. so 14 times 3/2 is 21. There were 28 total because if you add 1/3 to 1/6 you get 1/2. So they they lost 1/2 of the marbles and got 1/4 of the original amount back, which was 21.
So the original number was 28. Hope this helps!
