Given:
Joe has $173 in the bank.
He puts 7 weeks earning in the banks.
Now joe has $208 in the bank.
To find:
How much money does joe earn each week?
Solution:
Let x be the same amount of money each week for 7 weeks and puts this money in the bank.
Total earning in 7 weeks = 7x
Total amount of money in bank = Initial amount + 7 Weeks earning
[tex]208=173+7x[/tex]
[tex]208-173=7x[/tex]
[tex]35=7x[/tex]
Divide both sides by 7.
[tex]\dfrac{35}{7}=x[/tex]
[tex]5=x[/tex]
Therefore, joe earns $4 each week.
