SAVING MONEY

SCENARIO:
You and your friends plan to have a summer outing at the end of the school year, so you
decided to start saving money. Your initial plan is to use the remaining money you received during the
Christmas season as your initial savings and increase it by adding a fixed amount weekly.

I. If 𝒙 represents the number of weeks they will have to save money, write an algebraic expression that will model each
of their total savings. (15 Pts)

Example:
AMOUNT TO INITIAL
NAME EXPRESSION
SAVE WEEKLY SAVINGS
Bridget 𝟐𝟎 𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝟐𝟎𝒙 + 𝟓𝟎𝟎

AMOUNT TO SAVE
NAME INITIAL SAVINGS EXPRESSION
WEEKLY

A. Find the total amount that you and your friend’s saved after two months? Write your answer in the
table below. (15 Pts)

Total amount saved

NAME Solution
after 2 months
 B. If your target saving is at least 3,000 pesos in how many weeks each of you and your friends going to save?
(15 Pts)

Total number of
NAME Solution
weeks

II.
D. Complete the table below if the total saving amount is given, Find the x. (20 Pts)

Example:
AMOUNT TO INITIAL
NAME EXPRESSION
SAVE WEEKLY SAVINGS
Bridget 𝟐𝟎 𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝟐𝟎𝒙 + 𝟓𝟎𝟎

Total Savings
NAME x Equation Solution
(In Peso)
Bridget 50 20x + 500 = 1,500 20x + 500 = 1,500
1,500 20x + 500 -500 = 1,500 -500
20x =1,000
20x/20= 1,000/20
X = 50

Total Savings
NAME x Equation Solution
(In Peso)

3,000

4,000

5,000

2,500

2,000
E. Compare Evaluating of Algebraic Expressions and Solving One step and Two Step of Equations. (5 pts)

F. Enumerate the similarities and differences of Evaluating of Algebraic Expressions and Solving One step and
Two Step of Equations. (5 pts.)

G. Reflection: Why is saving important? Can you give at least three ways on how you can improve saving
money?
