b) How long will it take him to save for the AirPods?

Respuesta :

Answer:

A; saves 25 dollars a week  B: six and  half weeks or seven

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a) 165 b) 1 week

Step-by-step explanation:

so jack is going to be spending 35 dollars a week if he's making this budget meaning that he'll have 165 dollars left over so he'll enough money by next week. So if the budget stays at the same rate it is he'll have enough money to pay for the Air Pods. I found my solution by dividing 15, 30, 50, and, 80 by 5 because that a regular week and I got 3, 6, 10 and, 16 I added these numbers together and got 35 for the last step I subtracted 35 from 200 and got 165.

Hope this helps a lot :) have a blessed day
