Question 814651: i need help on this word problem please.
if you opened a savings account with $88 and saved $13.50 a week , how long will it take you to save $200?
thank you : )

Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
200 - 88 = 112
112 / 13.50 = 8.296 weeks
---
112 - (13.50 * 8) = $4
---
after 8 weeks you would have saved $108, which is $4 short of $112
on week 9 you can deposit $4 and will have saved the full $112
