Question 909325: Mrs. Peterson's triplets all want to attend the local private academy, where they are required to wear uniforms. Mrs. Peterson knows that the only way she can afford these uniforms is to shop early, put the uniforms on layaway, and pay a little every week. The total uniforms cost for three girls is $1,817.75. If she put down a deposit of $600 and she could afford $105 per week, how long would it take her to pay off the uniforms? (Round to nearest whole number.)
Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Total cost = $1817.75
Less down payment of $600 = 1217.75 remaining
= 11.6 weeks, rounded to 12 weeks

This assumes there is no fee or interest for the layaway.
