Jess is buying a new tv on layaway for $210. if she makes a down payment of $30, and pays $15 each week, how many weeks will it take her to pay for the tv?

210$ - 30$ = 180$.

180$ ÷ 15$ = 12. So the answer is 12 weeks.

Hello laracutefluffyoycqeo, the cost of the TV is 210 dollars if she pays a down payment : an initial payment made when something is bought on credit, that would take 30 dollars from the 210 dollars she needs to pay leaving Jess with 180, then pays 15 dollars each week the way I solved this is by diving 180 dollars ÷ 15 dollars a week and I got 12 so it would take 12 weeks for Jess to pay the complete 180 dollars she need for the TV.
