Problema Solution

Delaney has $500 in a savings account at the beginning of summer. Assuming she withdraws the same amount each week, how much can she withdraw each week for 8 weeks and still have at least $200 leftover to buy school clothes?

Answer provided by our tutors

let


x = the money Delaney withdraws per week, x > 0


after 8 weeks she will withdraw 8x dollars and will have 500 - 8x left on her account


500 - 8x => 200


500 - 200 => 8x


300 => 8x


37.5 => x


Delaney can withdraw not more then $37.5 per week.
