Paul has $145 in his savings account. He earns $36 a week mowing lawns. If Paul saves all of his earnings, after how many weeks will he have $433 saved? 1: 8 weeks

2: 288 weeks

3: 252 weeks

or 4: 7 weeks

Begin the question by subtracting the money that Paul already has ($145) from the amount that Paul wants to get to ($433).
$433-$145=$288

Then use the answer $288 and divide it by Paul’s earnings.
$288/$36= 8 weeks

It will take Paul 8 weeks to save $433.
