Jason is collecting coins from different countries around the world. He currently has coins from 99 countries and plans to add 4 new countries to his coin collection each week. At this rate how many weeks (w) will it take Jason to have coins from all 195 countries? Equation: Solution: Final Answer:

Answer 1

To find out how many weeks it will take Jason to collect coins from all 195 countries, we can set up the following equation based on the information provided.

1. Current number of countries Jason has: 99
2. Total number of countries: 195
3. Number of countries Jason plans to add each week: 4

First, we need to determine how many additional countries Jason needs to collect:

\[ \text{Additional countries needed} = 195 - 99 = 96 \]

Next, we can set up the equation to find out how many weeks (w) it takes to add these 96 countries at the rate of 4 new countries per week:

\[ 4w = 96 \]

Now, we can solve for w:

\[ w = \frac{96}{4} \]

\[ w = 24 \]

So it will take Jason 24 weeks to collect coins from all 195 countries.

Final Answer: 24 weeks
