Constance is saving money to buy a new bicycle that costs 195.75.She already 40 saved and plans to save 8 each week. How many weeks will take her to save enough money to purchase the bicycle?

Answer :

20 Weeks


195.75-40=155.75


155.75÷8=19.46875

Answer

20 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

given total is 195.75 that she needs.

she has 40

so you take 40 from the 195.7 = 155.70

you are then told she will save an additional 8 each week

and they want to know how many weeks it will take

155.70/8 a week = 19.46 weeks to gain enough money

i would imagine you will need to round up b/c it will take that 20th week to have the remaining balance


check work:

total needed 195.70

has 40

8 a week multiplied by nineteen weeks = 152.00

remaining needed is  3.70 meaning one more week

195.70

-40

-152

= 3.70

1 more week needed so 20 weeks total to save
