Okay, I am just trying to find the answer to this math problem:
I want to buy an IPod Touch (New Version) for $229.
I already have $69.
I earn $20 each week for the summer for babysitting
I got out of school on Friday June 13th
I started earning money on the Monday right after that Friday
I go back to school the day after Labor Day
Will I have enough money to buy the ipod I want by the time I go back to school? Any sooner? If so, how much money will I have?
Thank You SOOOO much if you can answer this problem.
I need to solve this Mtn problem?

First, you need to figure out how many weeks you will work. Use a calendar. Let's call that W. So you'll earn 20W (20 times W) over the summer. You already have 69, so at the end of summer, you'll have 20W + 69. If that's less then 229, you didn't make enough for the iPod. If that amount is >= 229, then after you pay for the iPod, the amount you'll have left is 20W + 69 - 229.
