If Timmy gets paid 20$ each week from doing chores, how many weeks will he need to get 57.85 dollars?

1 answer

To find out how many weeks Timmy will need to save up $57.85 if he earns $20 each week, you can divide the total amount he needs by the amount he earns each week.

\[ \text{Number of weeks} = \frac{\text{Total amount needed}}{\text{Amount earned per week}} = \frac{57.85}{20} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \frac{57.85}{20} = 2.8925 \]

Since Timmy can't work for a fraction of a week, you would round up to the next whole number. Therefore, he will need 3 weeks to earn at least $57.85.

So, Timmy will need 3 weeks to get $57.85.
