Math Problem of the Week - Middle School - May 8, 2022 to May 14, 2022

Middle School: 

Question: Grace is saving up to buy a guitar. Her grandmother will give her an additional 75 cents for each dollar that Grace saves. If Grace saves $20 a month for 6 months, how much money does she have to spend on the guitar? 

Answer: $210

Solution: Grace saves $20 x 6 = $120. Her grandmother gives her an additional 120 x 75 cents = $90. So, Grace has $120 + $90 = $210 to spend on a guitar.
