(e)
Find after 10 weeks of her new job, Brianna can buy the tablet.
(e)

Answer to Problem 80S
Brianna can easily buy the tablet with her savings.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Brianna is saving $15 each week to purchase a new tablet for $389.99.
Suppose 10 weeks after starting her job, the tablet goes on sale for 20% of the original price. Will Brianna be able to buy the tablet? Explain.
Concept Used:
Find the savings after 10 weeks and then find the discounted price of the tablet.
Now, the tablet goes on sale for 20% of the original price.
Calculation:
After 10 weeks starting her new job, her total savings:
After 10 weeks, her savings = $325.
Now, the tablet goes on sale for 20% of the original price.
Discounted price of the tablet is:
Her savings is $325 and the discounted price of the tablet is $311.99.
So, Brianna can easily buy the tablet with her savings.
Thus, Brianna can easily buy the tablet with her savings.
