To calculate how much Jefferson could save after 10 weeks by not buying a cheeseburger every day, you can follow these steps:
-
Calculate the daily cost: Jefferson spends $3.50 every day.
-
Calculate the total number of days in 10 weeks:
10 weeks × 7 days/week = 70 days -
Calculate the total cost for 10 weeks:
Total cost = Daily cost × Total number of days
Total cost = $3.50 × 70 = $245.00
Therefore, if Jefferson eliminates the cost of the cheeseburger and only eats at home, he could save $245.00 after 10 weeks.
