Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Sarah will have $200 after 3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

amount saved at the start = $20

amount saved per week = $10

number of weeks = 3

∴ Total savings from allowance  after 3 weeks = 10 × 3 = $30

Amount received in birthday money = $150

∴ Total amount saved after 3 weeks = amount saved at the start + Total savings from allowance  after 3 weeks + Amount received in birthday money

Total amount saved after 3 weeks = 20 + 30 + 150 = $200

Therefore Sarah will have $200 after 3 weeks
