Saving up

Amara has saved £45 towards a new bicycle that costs £120. She saves an extra £7.50 each week from her pocket money. After how many weeks will she have saved enough money to buy the bicycle?

  1. Amount still needed = £120 − £45 = £75
    Amara saves £7.50 per week, so the number of weeks needed = £75 ÷ £7.50 = 10 weeks

    Check: £45 + (10 × £7.50) = £45 + £75 = £120 ✓
