Fabian saved $84 per month for a motorbike. At the end of 9 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 Fabian save in order to buy the motorbike?
(a)
Amount that Fabian saved for 9 months
= 9 x 84
= $756
Amount of savings = 4 u
Price of the motorbike = 11 u
4 u = 756
1 u = 756 ÷ 4 = 189
Price of the motorbike
= 11 u
= 11 x 189
= $2079
(b)
Amount that Fabian must save more to buy the motorbike
= 2079 - 756
= $1323
Answer(s): (a) $2079; (b) $1323
