You start a bank account with $25. Then, each week you deposit $15. How many weeks will it take to have $235 in the account?

A. 14

B. 17

C. 17.3

D. 10

14 weeks. Here's how I got my answer:

$235 - $25.00 = $210.00

$15.00 x 14 = $210.00

$210.00 + $25.00 = $235.00

It couldn't hurt to get a few more answers with a variety of ways to solve the problem though.

Let us assume the number of weeks required = x

Initial amount of deposit = $25

Amount of money deposited each week = $15

Then

15x + 25 = 235

15x = 235 - 25

15x = 210

x = 14

From the above deduction, it can be easily assumed that the correct option among all the options given in the question is the first option or option "A".
