High School

You have been saving $12 each week for many weeks. One day, you decide to count your savings and find that you have $384. Choose the equation that helps you find how many weeks (w) you have been saving.

A. \(12 \times w = 384\)
B. \(12 + w = 384\)
C. \(384 - 12 = w\)
D. \(12 = 384 \times w\)

Answer :

Answer:

D or the last one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly, you got me kinda confused. Is it saying that there is multiple equations to answer this? Well anyways, D would be the answer. When the variable (w) is beside the coefficient, it means you multiple them together. (W) standing for weeks multiplied by 12 which is how much you earn each week would get you the total amount. The rest just don't make sense.

The correct equation to determine the number of weeks is 12w = 384. By solving this equation, you find that you have been saving for 32 weeks. The correct option is (d)

The important information given is that you save $12 each week and have accumulated $384 in total.

The correct equation to represent this is:

12w = 384

This is because your total savings equal the amount saved per week multiplied by the number of weeks.

To find the number of weeks w, we can solve this equation as follows:

  • Write the equation:

12w = 384

  • Divide both sides by 12:

w = 384 / 12

  • Calculate the result:

w = 32

So, you have been saving for 32 weeks.

Question:

You have been saving $12 each week for many weeks. One day, you decide to count your savings and find that you have $384. Choose the equations that help you find how many weeks you have been saving.

a. 12 384 = w

b .12 + w = 384

c. 384 - 12 = w

d. 12w = 384
