Huong will make 90 a week if she saves 40 percent of 90 each week how many weeks will it take for her to save 396 write an equation that translates her question into mathematical form

1 answer

Let x be the number of weeks it will take for Huong to save $396.

Weekly savings: 40% of 90 = 0.4 * 90 = $36

Total savings after x weeks: 36x

According to the question, the total savings after x weeks should be $396:

36x = 396

Now we can solve for x:

x = 396 / 36
x = 11

It will take Huong 11 weeks to save $396.
