Question

Emilio works at a local fast-food restaurant. He currently makes $200 per week after taxes plus $20 extra cash every other week for cleaning the deep fryer. Emilio is trying to save up for an apartment. He knows that he can get a nice apartment for a move-in cost between $1,050 and $2,100. The equation below represents this situation where x is the number of weeks worked and P is the move-in cost of the apartment.



What is the minimum number of weeks that Emilio needs to work to get his apartment?
10 weeks
5 weeks
7 weeks
9 weeks

My guess is 7 weeks but she thinks

Answer 1

She thinks it is nine weeks so who would be right?

Answer 2

where is the equation?

Answer 3

1,050 / 210 = 5 weeks minimum amount of weeks to work before they can move in

Answer 4

remember she gets $20 dollars every other week which means every 2 weeks

so she gets $200 every week plus $10 dollars every week for cleaning

in total 210

and you divide the total amount she needs by what she earns every week

Answer 5

it's given he earns 200 per week plus 20 every other week let his total earnings be A in x no. of weeks
A(x)=200x+20x/2
x/2 is there cause he earns 20 every alternate week
the minimum amount of rent is 1050
1050=200x+10x
x=5 weeks
