Zane saved $74 per month for a motorbike. At the end of 10 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 Zane save in order to buy the motorbike?
(a)
Amount that Zane saved for 10 months
= 10 x 74
= $740
Amount of savings = 4 u
Price of the motorbike = 11 u
4 u = 740
1 u = 740 ÷ 4 = 185
Price of the motorbike
= 11 u
= 11 x 185
= $2035
(b)
Amount that Zane must save more to buy the motorbike
= 2035 - 740
= $1295
Answer(s): (a) $2035; (b) $1295
