David wants to donate $400 to a charity. He has already saved $125. He earns $9 each day at his after-school job. What is the least number of days that David must work to earn $400?

Answer:

About 31 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he already has $125, you can subtract that amount from how much he needs to earn. $400 - $125 = $275 that he must earn.

Divide the remaining amount by how much he earns a day to find the number of days he must work to reach his goal.

$275 ÷ $9 ≈ 30.5 (I got 30.5 repeating). I rounded up to 31 days.
