Alisha wants to buy a camera that costs $228, including tax. She has saved $4.75 each week for the past 8 weeks. How much more money does Alisha need to purchase the camera?
4.75 * 8 = 38 saved up
so
228 - 38 = ?
To find out how much more money Alisha needs to purchase the camera, we need to calculate the total amount she has saved so far and then subtract it from the cost of the camera.
Alisha has saved $4.75 each week for the past 8 weeks. Therefore, the total amount she has saved so far can be calculated by multiplying the weekly saving amount by the number of weeks she has saved:
Total amount saved = $4.75/week × 8 weeks = $<<4.75*8=38>>38
Now we can calculate how much more money Alisha needs to purchase the camera by subtracting the total amount she has saved from the cost of the camera:
Additional money needed = Cost of camera - Total amount saved
= $228 - $38
= $<<228-38=190>>190
So, Alisha needs $190 more to purchase the camera.
To find out how much more money Alisha needs to purchase the camera, we can first find out how much money she has saved in total. Then, we can subtract that amount from the cost of the camera.
To find out how much money Alisha has saved in 8 weeks, we can multiply the amount she saves each week ($4.75) by the number of weeks she has saved (8).
$4.75 x 8 = $38
So, Alisha has saved $38.
To find out how much more money she needs to purchase the camera, we can subtract the amount she has saved from the cost of the camera.
$228 - $38 = $190
Therefore, Alisha needs $190 more to purchase the camera.
