Write an equation and solve it.

Matt is saving for college. He puts $20 in his savings account each week. How many weeks, w, will it take for him to save $15000?

1 answer

The equation for this scenario is:

20w = 15000

To solve for w, we divide both sides of the equation by 20:

w = 15000 / 20

w = 750

Therefore, it will take Matt 750 weeks to save $15000 for college.
