If Kirk saves $150 in the third week but spends $8, will he reach his goal of saving $300? Explain.
A.
Yes. Kirk will save 150(8)158. So, he will have saved over $300 by the end of the week.
B.
Yes. Kirk will save 160150(8)302. So, he will have saved over $300 by the end of the third week.
C.
No. Kirk will save 150(8)142. So, he will not have saved over $300 by the end of the week.
D.
No. Kirk will save 160(150)818. So, he will not have saved over $300 by the end of the week.
B.
Yes. Kirk will save 160 + 150 - 8 = 302. So, he will have saved over $300 by the end of the third week.
To determine whether Kirk will reach his goal of saving $300, we need to calculate how much money he will have saved by the end of the third week.
Given that he saves $150 in the third week and spends $8, we can calculate his total savings as follows:
$150 - $8 = $142
Therefore, Kirk will have saved $142 by the end of the third week.
Comparing this amount to his goal of saving $300, we can conclude that:
C. No. Kirk will save 150($8)142. So, he will not have saved over $300 by the end of the week.
To determine if Kirk will reach his goal of saving $300, we need to add up the amounts saved in each week and subtract any expenses.
In this case, Kirk saves $150 in the third week but spends $8.
To find out the total savings, we add the amount saved ($150) and subtract any expenses ($8).
Therefore, the total savings would be $150 - $8 = $142.
Since $142 is less than the goal of $300, Kirk will not have saved over $300 by the end of the week.
So, the correct answer is option C: No. Kirk will save 150 \times (8) = 142. So, he will not have saved over $300 by the end of the week.
