Robert Hardin · Answer 1

Add 460 to 50 and you get a total of 510 dollars that she needs to make. Since she gets 50 every week, divide 510 by 50 to get 10.2. You cant have a part of a week so it will take her 11 weeks. C

Isiah Mckee · Answer 2

We just try all of the answers diwn below

a) $50*12=$600

$600-90=510

b) $50*15=$750

$750-90=$660

c) $50*11=$550

$550-90=$460

d) $50*10=$500

$500-90=410

And to know the answer we look to the nearest number ir if we have te excact same number which we do which is answer c) 11 weeks
