Riley is saving up to buy a new television. She needs a total of $1,049.77. Riley has saved $200.79 already and earns $77.18 per

Xelga [282]

11 weeks are required for Riley to work to save enough money to buy the new television

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Riley needs a total of $1,049.77

Riley has saved $200.79 already and earns $77.18 per week at her job

To find: Number of weeks Riley need to work to save enough money to buy the new television

Remaining amount needed = $1,049.77 - $200.79

Remaining amount needed = $ 848.98

Let "n" be the number of weeks Riley need to work to save enough money to buy the new television

Also she earns $77.18 per week at her job

1 week ⇒ $ 77.18

"n" weeks ⇒ $ 848.98

Therefore, by cross multiplication,

$n \times 77.18 = 1 \times 848.98\\\\n = \frac{848.98}{77.18}\\\\n = 11$

Therefore 11 weeks are required for her to work to save enough money to buy the new television

<h3><u>Method 2:</u></h3>

<em>Total amount = amount already saved + ($77.18 per week at her job)("n" weeks)</em>

1,049.77 = 200.79 + (77.18)(n)

1049.77 - 200.79 = 77.18n

848.98 = 77.18n

$n = \frac{848.98}{77.18}$

n = 11

Therefore 11 weeks are required for her to work to save enough money to buy the new television

How do you know that 50 is not a perfect square?

Alexus [3.1K]

We can always do a prime factoring of it, and check

50 = 2*5*5
2*5²

a perfect square, so-called, is the resulting number of a squared value, well 50 is not the result of anything squared, is the result of 3 factors, in this case 2,5 and 5.

a perfect square will be something like say 64, or 144, because

64 = 8*8
8²

144 = 12*12
12²
