    It will take him about 10 weeks to save that amount.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Find 10% of 500, then add.

    .10*500 = 50

    500+50 = 550

    Subtract the number of money he has saved to the cost of the Xbox and sales tax.

    550-165 = 385

    Divide 40 to 385.

    385:40 = 9.62500

    The number 9.62500 can be rounded to 10 weeks.

    10 weeks or 9.625 weeks

    Step-by-step explanation:

    $500 plus 10% sales tax is $550

    he already has 165

    550-165 = 385

    385/40=9.625

    or rounded to the nearest whole number 10
