A. m=27w+52

ltrout · Answer

A) 52 + 27w = m.
B) 52 + 27w >= 340

anonymous · Answer

The 27 is how much you make per week and 52 is the original savings.

anonymous · Answer

B. 340>=27*11+52
340>=349
So yes

anonymous · Answer

340 is how much you'll need. The greater than or equals to sign is bc you can have more than the required money, the amount of required money, but not less. Times 11 bc it's been 11 weeks.
