Question

Samantha currently has $1500 in the bank and is spending $35 per week. How many weeks will it take until her account is worth only $915?

Answer 1

It would take her about 17 weeks

Explanation:

We start by creating an equation to represent this. We know that we are solving for weeks `(x)` and the total should be $915. We should take $1500 and subtract $35 for every week

`915=1500-35x`
`-585=-35x`
`17~~x`

Hope this helps!
