Camie and Jorge each begin saving money for a new computer. Camie saves $5 per week plus $50 she receives for her birthday. Jorge saves $7 per week. Which of the following can be used to find w, the number of weeks until Jorge has saved at least the same amount as Camie?

Answer 1

Let w be the number of weeks. Camie saves (5w+50) dollars, while Jorge saves 7w dollars. We then have:

7w ≥ 5w + 50
Subtracting 5w from both sides, we get:

2w ≥ 50
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

w ≥ 25

Therefore, the number of weeks until Jorge has saved at least the same amount as Camie is 25 or more.

Thus, the answer is w ≥ 25.
