Problema Solution
Jason's part time job pays him $155 a week. If he has already saved $375, what is the minimum number of full weeks he needs to work in order to have enough money to buy a dirt bike for $900
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of weeks that Jason needs to work to save
375 + 155x >= 900
by solving we find:
x >= 3.4

if Jason works 3 weeks he will have saves: 375 + 3*155 = $840 which is not enough
thus Jason needs to work at least 4 weeks (by working 4 weeks he will save: 375 + 4*155 = $995).
