Vincent started the year with $160 in his account at the health spa. Each time he uses the spa, $14 is taken out of the account. How many more times can he use the spa if he has already had $112 taken out of his account this year?81143

Respuesta :

Since Vincent has already had $112 taken out of his account this year, he's left with


[tex] 160 - 112 = 48 [/tex]$


Now, to find out how many more times he can use the spa, we need to find out how many times 14 fits inside 48, i.e. we need to look at the result of the division of the two numbers.


Since [tex] 48 \div 14 \approx 3.4 [/tex], Vincent can go to the spa three more times, spending [tex] 14\cdot 3 = 42 [/tex]$.


Then, we'll be left with 6$, and won't be able to go anymore.
