Answer:

(a) $62.92 saved in 25 weeks

(b) 41 weeks to save $100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = 2.92 + 2.4x[/tex]

[tex]x \to weeks[/tex]

[tex]y \to savings[/tex]

Solving (a): Savings in 25 weeks.

This means that: x = 25

So:

[tex]y = 2.92 + 2.4x[/tex]

[tex]y = 2.92 + 2.4 * 25[/tex]

[tex]y = 2.92 + 60[/tex]

[tex]y = 62.92[/tex]

Solving (b): Whole weeks to save $100

This means that x = 100

So:

[tex]y = 2.92 + 2.4x[/tex]

[tex]100 = 2.92 + 2.4x[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]2.4x = 100 - 2.92[/tex]

[tex]2.4x = 97.08[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = 97.08/2.4[/tex]

[tex]x = 40.45[/tex]

Round up

[tex]x = 41[/tex]
