Sierra is saving money to buy a bike the bike costs $245. she has $125 saved and each week she adds $15 to her savings. how many weeks it take her to have enough money to buy the bike

Respuesta :

you should start with an equation.
[tex]245 = 125 + 15x[/tex]
The 'x' represents the week.

so now, we have to subtract 125 from the total amount which is 245.
[tex]245 - 125 = 120[/tex]
now we have
[tex]120 = 15x[/tex]
to find 'x', we must divide 15 on each side
[tex] \frac{120}{15} = \frac{15x}{15} [/tex]
we are now left with
[tex]8 = x[/tex]
that means Sierra will have 8 weeks until she has enough money to buy the bike
