Problema Solution

Nathan receives a weekly allowance of $8. Nathan can earn $5 more for every 100 algebra problems he completes beyond the usual number. In 12 weeks Nathan wants to have saved enough to buy new algebra books that cost $210. If he saves all his money, how many algebra problems does he have to complete to earn what he needs?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let number of algebra problems solved=x

So, 8*12+5x=210

96+5x=210

5x=114

x=22.8

Number of algebra problems Nathan need to solve=22.8*100=2280
