Keith has $500 in a savings account at the beginning of the summer. He wants to have at least $200 at the end of the summer. He withdraws $25 per week for food, clothing, and movie tickets. How many weeks can Keith withdraw money from his account.
Keith's balance is written as B(w) where w is the number of weeks passed since the beginning of summer. We have:
B(w) = 500 - 25w
The problem asks for B(w) = 200, so we set 500 - 25w = 200.
Typing 500 - 25w = 200 into the search engine, we get w = 12.
