Marcus and his twin sister Marcie decide to save $25 each week to buy a video console. How long will it take for them to save $675?

Question

x= _

Answer 1

It will take Marcus and Marcie x weeks to save $675.

Since they save $25 each week, the amount they save in x weeks is 25x.

Setting up an equation, we have:

25x = 675

Dividing both sides by 25:

x = 27

Therefore, it will take Marcus and Marcie 27 weeks to save $675.
