Question

karen earns $5 by delivering newspapers each week. she saves $3 and she spends the rest how many weeks will it take her to save enough money to buy a $35 giftcard​

Answer 1

Answer:

She might take at least 10 weeks. I hope it helps ....

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$5 = weekly

$35 / $5 = 7 weeks

but she saves $3 only each week so , to make it more understandable for u , lets take it like :-

Week 1 - 3 dollars

Week 2 - 3 dollars

Week 3 - 3 dollars

Week 4 - 3 dollars

Week 5 - 3 dollars

Week 6 - 3 dollars

Week 7 - 3 dollars

So, 3+3+3+3+3+3+3 = 21

But she needs 35 dollars so 35-21 = 14

She needs 14 dollars more ,

So ,

Week 8 = 3 dollars

Week 9 3 dollars

Week 10 = 3 dollars

Week 11 = 3 dollars

Week 12 = 3dollars

14 dollars + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 14 + 15 = 29

Week 13 = 3 dollars

Week 14 = 3 dollars

So, 29 + 3 + 3 = 35

Ans = She needs to sell 14 more weeks to buy the gift card .
