You've been saving $8.50 each week to buy a bicycle from your local bike store. The bike originally cost $210, but is on sale for 25% off. So far, you have saved $120 for your purchase. How many more weeks must you save up to have enough money to buy the bike?

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you must calculate what 25% off from $210 is. Since 100 - 25% = 75%, the price of the bike is 75% of $210.

x = $157.50

Then, make an equation that represents the money needed to save up for the bike.

y = mx + b

bike's price = (money earned each week)(number of weeks) + money saved

157.5 = 8.50x + 120

157.5 - 120 = 8.50x + 120 - 120

37.5/8.5 = 8.5x/8.5

x = 4.4117

You need to round 4.4 to 5 because number of weeks must be whole numbers

yes

step-by-step explanation:

so of course you want to start by plugging the 5 in which goes to 7(5)+3(5)=50 because 7*5=35 and 3*5=15 and then add them together, then plug in the 5 to the other equation as well 9(5)+5=50 because 9*5= 45 and then add 5 and so yes they are equivalent.
