Brian saves ¾ of the $320 he earns each week from his job. If Brian continues to save at this rate, how much money, in dollars, will Brian save in 12 weeks?

To determine how much money Brian will save in 12 weeks, we first calculate how much he saves in one week.

1. **Calculate weekly savings**:
   - Brian earns $320 each week.
   - He saves $\frac{3}{4}$ of his earnings each week.
   - Weekly savings = $\frac{3}{4} \times 320 = \frac{960}{4} = 240$ dollars.

2. **Calculate total savings in 12 weeks**:
   - Brian saves $240 each week.
   - Total savings in 12 weeks = $240 \times 12 = 2880$ dollars.

Thus, Brian will save **$2,880** in 12 weeks.

2. If Brian's earnings increased by $50 per week, how much would he save in 12 weeks?
3. How much would Brian save in a year (52 weeks) at this rate?
4. If Brian had an initial savings of $500, how much would he have after 12 weeks?
5. What would be the total amount saved if Brian saved $\frac{3}{4}$ of his earnings and spent the rest?

**Tip:** When dealing with fractions of amounts, multiply the fraction directly by the total to find the portion represented by the fraction.
