Hailie Donaldson · Answer 1

What you're going to do is take 10% of $450.

450x0.10 = 45

Jen is going to pay her parents back that amount and they want to know how long it will take so you will divide the amount borrowed by the result in the first equation.

1500/45 = 34

I rounded up because you cant get a fraction of a week

Maximo · Answer 2

33.5 weekes divide 45 into 1500 gives you this answer
