Math Problem Statement

You are saving Php 290 each week from your allowance. In the 4th week, your father gave you Php 575 on top of your savings. How much savings do you have so far?

Solution

Let's break down the problem:

  • You are saving ₱290 each week.
  • In the 4th week, your father gave you an additional ₱575 on top of your savings.

Now, let's calculate your total savings:

  1. For the first 3 weeks, you save ₱290 per week:

    • Savings after 3 weeks: 290×3=870290 \times 3 = ₱870
  2. In the 4th week, you save ₱290 again and receive an extra ₱575 from your father:

    • Total savings for the 4th week: 290+575=865290 + 575 = ₱865
  3. Add all of this together:

    • Total savings so far: 870+865=1,735870 + 865 = ₱1,735

So, after 4 weeks, your total savings is ₱1,735.

  1. If you continue saving for 8 weeks, how much will you have saved by then?
  2. What is your total savings after 6 weeks if no extra money is added?
  3. If you save ₱290 weekly and spend ₱100 per week, how much will you have saved after 5 weeks?
  4. If your savings goal is ₱5,000, how many weeks will it take to reach this goal with no additional money?
  5. If you save ₱400 per week instead of ₱290, what would your savings be after 4 weeks, including the extra money from your father?

Tip: Keeping track of irregular additional amounts in savings can help you reach your goals faster!
