Question
Menendez has $55 in his savings account. He deposits $10 every week and doesn’t take any money out. He wants to save $135 to buy a used tablet. The equation 10w+55=135
can be used to determine the number of weeks, w, that Menendez needs to save money in order to buy the tablet.

How many weeks will it take Menendez to save $135?

(1 point)
weeks

Answer 1

To find out how many weeks it will take Menendez to save $135, we can solve the equation given:

\[ 10w + 55 = 135 \]

1. First, subtract 55 from both sides of the equation:

\[
10w + 55 - 55 = 135 - 55
\]
\[
10w = 80
\]

2. Next, divide both sides by 10:

\[
w = \frac{80}{10}
\]
\[
w = 8
\]

So, it will take Menendez **8 weeks** to save $135.
