Respuesta :

1. At the end of the 5th week he would have saved a total of $700

2. The amount of flour he would have at the closing time on 17th of the month will be 16kg

1.

Azad amount = $500

He wants to go on a holiday but he lacks sufficient money. This means the $500 in his possession is not enough.

He decided to save $40 dollars per week for a number of weeks to make up the deposits.

let

w = number of weeks

Therefore, his saving for any number of weeks will be

  • 40w

The amount he would have saved for 5 weeks will be

40×5=$200

The total amount in his possession at the end of the fifth week will be  200 + 500 = $700

2.

The baker has 400 kg of flour. The first day of the month he didn't use any flour. This means on the first day of that month the flour was still 400 kg. The amount he has on the 17th day of the month can be calculated below.

The 17th day simply implies he used the flour for 16 days, the first day of the month he didn't use anything. He uses 24 kg for each day. Therefore the amount he uses for 16 days will be

  • 16×24=384 kg

The amount he has at the closing time of 17 days of the month will be

  • 400kg - 384kg = 16kg
