Question

Kristi is saving for a pair of binoculars. The binoculars cost $125.99. If she saves an additional $2 a week, can she buy the binoculars in 5 weeks. Her saving is $25 a week.

Answer 1

Yes. (25 + 2) 5
25 + 2=27
27 × 5 = 135.00

Answer 2

So the total needs to be 125.99 or we could round it to 126.
Her saving is 25 plus $2
this is for 5 weeks
126 =?= 5(25 + 2)
126 =?= 5(27)
126 =?= 135

Yes, she will be able to buy the binoculars in 5 weeks saving 25 dollars plus 2 additional dollars each week.
