Luis saved $93 per month for a bicycle. At the end of 10 months, he found that the amount of savings he had was only
311 the price of the bicycle.
- How much was the bicycle?
- How much more must Luis save in order to buy the bicycle?
(a)
Amount that Luis saved for 10 months
= 10 x 93
= $930
Amount of savings = 3 u
Price of the bicycle = 11 u
3 u = 930
1 u = 930 ÷ 3 = 310
Price of the bicycle
= 11 u
= 11 x 310
= $3410
(b)
Amount that Luis must save more to buy the bicycle
= 3410 - 930
= $2480
Answer(s): (a) $3410; (b) $2480
