Mark saved $92 per month for a motorbike. At the end of 6 months, he found that the amount of savings he had was only
311 the price of the motorbike.
- How much was the motorbike?
- How much more must Mark save in order to buy the motorbike?
(a)
Amount that Mark saved for 6 months
= 6 x 92
= $552
Amount of savings = 3 u
Price of the motorbike = 11 u
3 u = 552
1 u = 552 ÷ 3 = 184
Price of the motorbike
= 11 u
= 11 x 184
= $2024
(b)
Amount that Mark must save more to buy the motorbike
= 2024 - 552
= $1472
Answer(s): (a) $2024; (b) $1472
