Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Bowie combines two savings jobs. Each week Bowie saves $6 allowance. Every other week, Bowie also saves $5 from recycling. Bowie wants $43 for a travel pillow and blanket. Which plan correctly calculates how many weeks are needed?

AIgnore the recycling. 43 ÷ 6 = 7.17. So, that is the weeks.

BAfter 6 weeks: allowance 6×6 = 36. Recycling happens every other week, so 6 ÷ 2 = 3 recycling weeks. Extra = 3×5 = 15. Total = 36+15 = 51. So, Week 6 is the first week at or above $43.

CEach week save 6+5 = 11. Then 43 ÷ 11 = 3.91. So, that is the weeks.

DEvery other week means divide by 2: 6 ÷ 2 = 3.00. Then 43 ÷ 3.00 = 14.33. So, that is the weeks.

Solution & Explanation:Save $6 every week. Add the extra $5 on weeks 2, 4, 6, ... Count how many 'every other' weeks happen by Week 6 (3 times). Then check the total. The first week that reaches at least $43 is Week 6.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Aaliyah combines two savings jobs. Each week Aaliyah saves $4 allowance. Every other week, Aaliyah also saves $5 from recycling. Aaliyah wants $82 for a sports camp deposit. Which plan correctly calculates how many weeks are needed?

AAfter 13 weeks: allowance 13×4 = 52. Recycling happens every other week, so 13 ÷ 2 = 6 recycling weeks. Extra = 6×5 = 30. Total = 52+30 = 82. So, Week 13 is the first week at or above $82.

BIgnore the recycling. 82 ÷ 4 = 20.50. So, that is the weeks.

CEach week save 4+5 = 9. Then 82 ÷ 9 = 9.11. So, that is the weeks.

DEvery other week means divide by 2: 4 ÷ 2 = 2.00. Then 82 ÷ 2.00 = 41.00. So, that is the weeks.

Solution & Explanation:Save $4 every week. Add the extra $5 on weeks 2, 4, 6, ... Count how many 'every other' weeks happen by Week 13 (6 times). Then check the total. The first week that reaches at least $82 is Week 13.

BSubtract Week 1: 26 - 4 = 22. So, so Week 1 is enough.

DCheck the totals from Week 1 to Week 5 and find the first total that is at least 26. So, Week 5 is the first week at or above the goal.
