Question

Jose opens a savings account with a $100 deposit. He then deposits $8.00 each week. In how many weeks will he have a total of $2,000?

Answer 1

2000 = 100 + 8x
1900 = 8x
x = 1900/8 = 237.5
Since you jose deposits every week you must round up.
He would have to deposit 8 dollars every week for 238 weeks.

Answer 2

Thank you!
