Step-by-step explanation:

A. Calculate the amount of money Oliver saves in one week.

This will be:

= 10% × $520

= 1/10 × $520

= 0.1 × $520

= $52

B. There are 52 weeks in one year. If Oliver saves the same amount each week for 6 months, how much will he save?

This will be:

= $52 × 52weeks/2

= $52 × 26

= $1352

Note that 6 months will be:

= 52 weeks/2

= 26 weeks.
