what is the answer?

1 answer

To determine how many weeks it will take Justin to save up for the game, we can follow these steps:

  1. Calculate how much more money he needs to save:

    • The cost of the game is $135.
    • Justin currently has $10.
    • Therefore, he needs an additional: \[ 135 - 10 = 125 \text{ dollars} \]
  2. Determine how much he saves each week:

    • Justin plans to save $25 each week.
  3. Calculate the number of weeks required to save the additional $125: \[ \text{Number of weeks} = \frac{125 \text{ dollars}}{25 \text{ dollars/week}} = 5 \text{ weeks} \]

So, Justin needs 5 weeks to save enough money to buy the game.
