Jan has $130 if she saves $25 per week in how many weeks will she have $600

Answer 1

To find out how many weeks it will take for Jan to reach $600 by saving $25 per week, we can set up the equation based on her current amount and her weekly savings.

1. Start with her current amount: $130

2. We want to find out how much more she needs to save to reach $600:

   \[ 600 - 130 = 470 \]

   So, she needs to save an additional $470.

3. Now, divide the amount she needs to save by her weekly savings:

   \[ \frac{470}{25} = 18.8 \]

Since Jan can only save a whole number of weeks, we round up to the next whole number.

Therefore, she will need 19 weeks to save enough money to reach $600.
