Philip is saving money to buy a new computer. He saves the same amount of money each week. • After 2 weeks of saving, Philip still needs $520 to buy the
computer.
• After 6 weeks of saving, Philip still needs $300 to buy the
computer
How much does the computer cost?
(Note: Express the answer as dollars. cents.)

If he still needs 520 to buy the computer in 2 weeks of saving, and 300 to buy the computer in 6 weeks of saving, he saves (520-300)/4, or 55 dollars each week.

So, at week zero, we can find the cost of the computer, which is 520+55+55, or 630 dollars.

Let me know if this helps!

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

3 is greater then both of those numbers
