There is not enough information given to make a conclusion about Chuy's plan.

Answer 1

Answer: Therefore, option 'c' is correct that Chuy will save more than he needs and will meet his goal in less than 27 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of television= $1350

To find the amount of money Chuy should save each week, we need to divide the cost of television by 27 weeks.

So, we get

the amount of money he should save each week= 1350/27=$50

It means he should save $50 each week to meet his goal.

If he saves $50 per week, he will have $400 after 8 weeks but he saved $440 after 8 weeks.

It means he will save $40 more than he needs and will meet his goal in less that 27 weeks.
