This is the stem (3 points) Jason is collecting coins from different countries around the worldHe currently has coins from 99 countries and plans to add 4 new countries to his coin collection each weekAt this rate how many weeks (w) will it take Jason to have from all 195 countries ? Equation Solution Answer

Answer 1

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

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

First, we can calculate how many more countries Jason needs to collect:

\[ \text{Countries needed} = \text{Total countries} - \text{Current countries} = 195 - 99 = 96 \]

Next, we can set up the equation to find the number of weeks \( w \) it will take to collect these 96 countries, given that he adds 4 new countries each week:

\[ 4w = 96 \]

Now, we can solve for \( w \):

\[ w = \frac{96}{4} = 24 \]

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

Answer: 24 weeks
