Question

Which additional information is needed to solve this problem?

John wants to buy a new game for his computer. He can save $12 a week if he mows his neighbor's lawn and $10 a week if he babysits his nephew. How many weeks will it take John to save enough money to buy the computer game?

A.

B.
the cost of the game

C.
total amount John can save in 1 week

Answer 1

B.The cost of the game

Answer 2

you won't be able to solve it because How much money is needed for the game? you don't know the cost.....so it's b

Answer 3

So we have
12 per week for mowing
10 per week for babysitting
Suppose x is the number of weeks
We have
12x + 10x =?
The question mark is the game price since we don't know that then there is no equation to be solved
