Daniel saved $72 per month for a motorbike. At the end of 4 months, he found that the amount of savings he had was only
411 the price of the motorbike.
- How much was the motorbike?
- How much more must Daniel save in order to buy the motorbike?
(a)
Amount that Daniel saved for 4 months
= 4 x 72
= $288
Amount of savings = 4 u
Price of the motorbike = 11 u
4 u = 288
1 u = 288 ÷ 4 = 72
Price of the motorbike
= 11 u
= 11 x 72
= $792
(b)
Amount that Daniel must save more to buy the motorbike
= 792 - 288
= $504
Answer(s): (a) $792; (b) $504
