Glen saved $92 per month for a motorbike. At the end of 5 months, he found that the amount of savings he had was only
56 the price of the motorbike.
- How much was the motorbike?
- How much more must Glen save in order to buy the motorbike?
(a)
Amount that Glen saved for 5 months
= 5 x 92
= $460
Amount of savings = 5 u
Price of the motorbike = 6 u
5 u = 460
1 u = 460 ÷ 5 = 92
Price of the motorbike
= 6 u
= 6 x 92
= $552
(b)
Amount that Glen must save more to buy the motorbike
= 552 - 460
= $92
Answer(s): (a) $552; (b) $92
