Story Problem

Question

Nhu is saving to buy a car. In the first 6 months, his savings were $80less than 3/4 the price of the car. In the next 6 months, Nhu saved $50 more than 1/5 the price of the car. He still needs $370. What is the average amount of money Nhu saved each month, when the car cost $6,800?

Answer 1

First 6months: .75($6800)-$80= $5020

Next 6 months: .20($6800)+$50= $1410

 

*Finding the avg amount saved each money will require adding up the saved amount for the 12 months and then dividing that sum by 12*

 

6($5020)+6($1410)= $38580

$38580/12months= $3215

 

The avg amount of money Nhu saved each month is $3215.
