Question

Ms Singh wants to buy a new television that costs £840

Answer 1

Cost of a television Ms. Singh wants to buy = £840

Ms. Singh's weekly wage = £300

Money she saves each week :

= 40% of her weekly wage

$=\tt 40\% \: of \: 300$

$= \tt \frac{40}{100} \times 300$

$=\tt \frac{40 \times 300}{100}$

$=\tt \frac{12000}{100}$

$\color{plum} = \tt£120$

Thus, Ms. Singh's weekly savings = £120

Number of weeks in which she will be able to buy a TV :

$= \tt \frac{840}{120}$

$\color{plum} =\tt 7 \: weeks$

Therefore, Ms. Singh will be able to buy a TV from her savings in 7 weeks.
