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

Answer 1

Since Marcus and Marcie are each saving $25 per week, their combined savings per week is $25 + $25 = $50.

To calculate how many weeks it will take them to save $675, we divide the total amount they want to save by the amount they save each week: $675 / $50 = 13.5 weeks.

Since it is not possible to save for half a week, we round up to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, it will take Marcus and Marcie 14 weeks to save $675.
