Ian needs to save at least $85.00 for a new pair of basketball shoes. He has $25.00 in his piggy bank, and can save $12.00 from his allowance each week. How many weeks will Ian need to save to earn at least $85.00?

Answer :

Answer:

x = 6; 6 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi!!

Okay, so here is the equation needed to solve:

85.00 = 25.00 + 12.00x

Subtract 25 from both sides

85 -25 = 25 - 25 + 12x

Then, you get:

55 = 12x

Divide 55 by 12

55/12 =x

so x = 6

Hope this helps!
