Answer to Question #289321 in Algebra for lauren

Question

You want to purchase a new phone that costs $475. You have $95 in savings and can save $20 per week. How many weeks will it take for you to be able to afford the new phone?

Answer 1

The phone costs $475 but I have just $95. This means that I still need $380 to be able to afford the phone.

I can save $20 per week. Therefore, I will need to save $20 for 19 weeks to be able to afford the phone.

Check: 95 + 20(19) = $475
