How many months will it take her to pay off her braces and buy a hoodie?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 month and 3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount Telia needs: 12.49 + 250 + 170 = $432.49

Total amount she has: $207

Amount needs to buy hoodie and braces: 432.49 - 207 = $225.49

Telia gets paid $71 every two Fridays.

Therefore, in one month, Telia gets $142 (71 + 71).

In one week, Telia gets $35.5 (71/2).

35.5 x 7 = $248.5

7 weeks is 1 month and 3 weeks.

Therefore, it will take Telia 1 month and 3 weeks to pay off her braces and buy a hoodie.
