Math Problem Statement

Eduardo has $24 saved. If he saves $8 each week, how much money will he have in 5 weeks?

Solution

The problem asks us to find out how much money Eduardo will have after saving for 5 weeks, given that he already has $24 saved and saves $8 each week.

Solution:

  1. Initial savings: Eduardo starts with $24.
  2. Weekly savings: He saves $8 every week.
  3. Time period: He saves for 5 weeks.

The total amount Eduardo saves in 5 weeks is:

Total savings in 5 weeks=5×8=40 dollars\text{Total savings in 5 weeks} = 5 \times 8 = 40 \text{ dollars}

Now, we add this to his initial savings:

Total money after 5 weeks=24+40=64 dollars\text{Total money after 5 weeks} = 24 + 40 = 64 \text{ dollars}

Thus, Eduardo will have $64 after 5 weeks.

Here are five related questions to explore:

  1. What if Eduardo saves $10 per week instead of $8? How much will he have in 5 weeks?
  2. How much will Eduardo have after 10 weeks of saving $8 per week?
  3. If Eduardo wanted to save $100, how many weeks would he need to save at $8 per week starting with $24?
  4. What if Eduardo spends $5 each week? How would that affect his savings in 5 weeks?
  5. How much does Eduardo need to save per week if he wants to have $80 in 5 weeks?

Tip:

When solving word problems, break them into smaller steps (like weekly savings) to make the calculations easier to follow.
