Constance Is Saving Money To Buy A New Bicycle That Costs 19575 She Already Has 40 Saved And Plans To Save 8 Each Week How Many Weeks Will It Take Her To Save E class=

Sagot :

195.75/8= 24.47. 40/8=5 24.47-5= 19.47.

19.47

Answer:

20 weeks (Exactly 19.46 weeks)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total cost of the bicycle = $195.75

Saved Money  = $40

Remaining amount required = 195.75 - 40 = $155.75

Time taken to save $8 = 1 week

Time taken to save $1 = [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Thus, time taken to save $155.75 is

[tex]=\frac{1}{8}\times 155.75[/tex]

[tex]=19.46[/tex]

Constance will need to save $8 for around 20 weeks to save enough money to buy the bicycle.
