Math Problem Statement

You are saving for a Php 4,500 skateboard. Your sister gives you Php 2,395 to start and you save Php 190 each week. How much will you have after 7 weeks?

Solution

To solve this problem:

  • Initial amount from your sister: Php 2,395
  • Weekly savings: Php 190
  • Number of weeks: 7 weeks

The total amount you will have after 7 weeks can be calculated as: Total amount=Initial amount+(Weekly savings×Number of weeks)\text{Total amount} = \text{Initial amount} + (\text{Weekly savings} \times \text{Number of weeks})

Let's compute it step by step:

Total amount=2,395+(190×7)\text{Total amount} = 2,395 + (190 \times 7)

Now I will calculate this.After 7 weeks, you will have Php 3,725.
