Brandon needs $480 to buy a TV and stereo system for his room. He received $60 for his birthday. He plans to save $30 per week from his part-time job. To find how many weeks w it will take to have $480, solve 60 + 30w = 480.
16 weeks
13 weeks
15 weeks
14 weeks
To solve the equation 60 + 30w = 480, we first need to isolate the variable w by subtracting 60 from both sides:
30w = 420
Then, divide both sides by 30 to solve for w:
w = 14
Therefore, it will take Brandon 14 weeks to save $480 with his birthday money and part-time job savings.
The correct answer is: 14 weeks
