Question

)Jake needs $700 for a trip. He saved $120 so far. Jake saves $40 eachweek. The equation 40w + 120= 700 shows the total amount of moneyJake saves in w weeks. How many weeks will it take Jake to saveenough money for the trip?

Answer 1

we have the next equation

40 w+120=700

we need to clear w in order to know the weeks Jake needs

40 w=700-120

40w=580

w=580/40= 14.5

Jake will need 14.5 if we round that is 15 weeks to save for his trip
