Answer 1

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. However, $129 (the cost of the cd player) - $35 (the money he already has saved) = $94 (the amount of money he still needs to buy the cd player).
Based off of this information, we can figure out how long it will take him to save up for it if he can save $16 a week.

Let x = number of weeks.
$129-$35=$16x
$95=$16x
$95/$16=x (Hint: The Dollar signs cancel out here.)
x=5.9375 So, it will take him 6 weeks.
