Gordon is trying to save up $2000 for a new saxophone he makes 12.50 per hour at his job at the coffee shop but he needs to set aside half of his hourly wage to pay his regular bills How many 40-hour weeks will he need to work before he can afford the saxophone? A. 320 Weeks
B. 40 Weeks
C. 8 Weeks
D. 6.25 Weeks

he will need to work 8 40-hour weeks.

Explanation:

since gordon has to set aside half of his wage to pay his bills, he can only save $12.50 ÷ 2 = $6.25 for the saxophone.

we can find how much money gordon saves from a 40-hour week by multiplying this by 40: $6.25 × 40 = $250.

now, divide the total amount of money he has to save by the amount he saves each week: $2000 ÷ $250 = 8.

he will need to work 8 40-hour weeks before he can afford the saxophone.

i hope this helps! :D

38.5

step-by-step explanation:

lets say, first number = r

second number = 3r+7

total = 49

(r)+(3r+7)= 49

4r+7 = 49

4r = 42

r = 42/4

r= 10.5

3r+7 = 3(10.5)+7 = 38.5

hope this
