If Jorge has $125 in his saving account and he deposits $20 every week and withdraws $25 every four weeks what will his balance be in 8 weeks

Question

I don't get it what it is asking can you give me the answer 

Answer 1

Our problem looks like this:

125 + 20 * 8 - 25 * 2

We have the base $125.

Every week for 8 weeks, $20 dollars is deposited.

Every four weeks for 8 weeks (8 ÷ 4 = 2), $25 is withdrawn.

 

In the order of operations, multiplication comes first:

20 * 8 = 160

-25 * 2 = -50

 

So we now have:

125 + 160 - 50

125 + 160 = 285

 

285 - 50 = 235

 

So Jorge has $235 after 8 weeks.
