Rich earns $25 every weekend babysitting. He wants to buy a new game system that costs $499. He already has $220 saved. What is the minimum number of weekends he will need to babysit in order to have at least the $499 he needs? ASAP I only have 10 minutes

12 weekends

Step-by-step explanation:

Round up to $500 to make it easier, he needs $500. with $220 Saved he needs $280 more ($500-$220). $280 / $25 per weekend is 11.2 weekends needed. He would need to work 12 weekends to get to his goal

the correct answer is option c.   3

step-by-step explanation:

points to remember

equation of the line with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

from the figure we can see a line with two coordinates given

to find the slope of given line

here   (x₁, y₁)   = (-1, -1 ) and (x₂, y₂) = (1, 5)

slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

  = (5 - -1)/(1 - -1)

  = (5 + 1)/(1 + 1)

  = 6/2 = 3

therefore the correct answer is option c.   3
