Question

1. jason and his 3 brothers want to buy a gift for their mother. they have saved $314 until they have at least $515 for her gift. how much money will they save after 3 weeks? will they have enough money to buy the gift?

a. what are the hidden questions?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the number of people

Jason and his 3 brothers, so total people \( n = 1 + 3 = 4 \).

Step2: Calculate total savings per week

Each saves $17 per week, so total per week \( 4\times17 = 68 \).

Step3: Calculate savings after 3 weeks

Initial savings: $314. Savings in 3 weeks: \( 68\times3 = 204 \). Total: \( 314 + 204 = 518 \).

Step4: Compare with required amount

Required: $515. Since \( 518 \geq 515 \), they have enough.

Answer:

After 3 weeks, they will have $518, which is enough to buy the gift.
