The students at Vienna elementary sold donuts every day at school for 6 months the table below shows the earnings for the first 6 weeks if the pattern continues how long will it take the students to earn more than $1000 total? Week 1 $110 week 2 100 week 3 90 week 4 110 week 5 100 week 6 90
To find out how long it will take for the students to earn more than $1000 total, we can add up the earnings for the first 6 weeks.
Week 1: $110
Week 2: $100
Week 3: $90
Week 4: $110
Week 5: $100
Week 6: $90
Total earnings for the first 6 weeks: $110 + $100 + $90 + $110 + $100 + $90 = $600
Since the students earn $600 in the first 6 weeks and we want to know when they will earn more than $1000 total, we need to find out how many more weeks it takes for the total earnings to surpass $1000.
$1000 - $600 = $400
The students need $400 more to reach $1000.
If we assume that the earnings per week continue in the same pattern, where they earn $90, $100, $110 in that order, we can calculate how many weeks it will take to earn the remaining $400.
$400 / ($90 + $100 + $110) = $400 / $300 = 1.33 (approximately)
Since we cannot have a fraction of a week, we can round up to the nearest whole number.
Thus, it will take the students 2 more weeks to earn more than $1000 total.
