Q. 16. Naomi wants to buy a new computer for $840. She is considering two payment plans that require weekly payments. Which plan will pay for the computer faster?\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{ BUDGET: $840} \\\hline Plan A: & \begin{tabular}{l}$180 down \\$60/ wk payments\end{tabular} \\\hline Plan B: & \begin{tabular}{l}$0 down \\$70/ wk payments\end{tabular} \\\hline\end{tabular}Plan A will take weeks to pay off the computer.Plan B will take weeks to pay off the computer. 5
Calculate Remaining Balance: Calculate the remaining balance for Plan A after the down payment.$840−$180=$660
Determine Weeks for Plan A: Determine the number of weeks required to pay off the remaining balance under Plan A. $660÷$60/week=11 weeks
Calculate Total Weeks for Plan B: Calculate the total number of weeks for Plan B since there is no down payment.$840÷$70/week=12weeks
