Question about math problem?

Question

so for this problem it says that you earn $50 a week and that you need $600 and then it asks you to make a projection on the number of weeks it will take [to earn $600]. my main question is what is a projection?

remember: this is math related!

thank you <3

Answer 1

In this case, &quot;projection&quot; means best guess. The answer is 12 weeks. So the projected time it will take to earn $600 is 12 weeks.  

Answer 2

600/50=12

It is projected that it will take 12 weeks to earn $600.

Projected is: To calculate, estimate, or predict (something in the future), based on present data or trends. from

Answer 3

projection here as an estimation/ calcuation

so, the question is to calculation about the number of weeks needed to earn $600, consdiering you get $50 in a week :)

the ans is 12, hope you figre it out

Answer 4

A projection is an estimate of future experience/scenario based on current best estimates basis. In this case, it is assuming that you&#039;ll be able to earn $50 a week from now until you earn $600. Of course the future may turn out differently than the projection (you may earn more than $50 or less, depending on your condition), but in projection, we can only make an estimate of the future based on what we have now.

Simply work out as follows:

Week           Accumulated Amount

1                      $50

2                     $100

3                     $150

...

Of course you can also set up an equation to solve for it. The amount accumulated at week n is $50*n. You need to find out the value of n which gives you $50 * n = $600.

Answer 5

This is really an arithmetic problem.  A projection is an estimate of something in the future.  Assuming no raises or taxes or spending of the weekly income, the answer is:

$600

--------  = 12 weeks.

$50
