Mr.Leo plans to save money to buy a carpet. If he saves $50 each week for 30 weeks, he will have saved the exact amount of money needed to buy the carpet.

If Mr.Leo instead saves $75 each week, how many weeks will it take him to ave the same amount of money?

Answer provided by our tutors

he saves $50 each week for 30 weeks thus he will save a total of:


$50*30 = $1,500


let x represent the number of weeks needed if Mr.Leo saves $75 each week:


75x = 1500


x = 20 weeks


Mr.Leo will need 20 weeks to save the same amount of money.
