Suzy and her friends have arranged a long weekend away to celebrate their birthdays.
Suzy is saving to pay for the trip and has 13 weeks to save £510.
Suzy already has savings of £95.
In the first week, she knows she can save £70.
She plans to save equal amounts of money in each of the remaining weeks.
How much does Suzy need to save in each of the remaining weeks so that she can pay for her weekend away?
Answer:
Suzy has already saved £165
Therefore, she must save £345 more pounds in 12 weeks
To find the amount needed to be saved per week divide 345 by 12 to get £28.75.
