    Words: If Hakeem puts $59 from each paycheck into savings and he receives 26 paychecks each year, at the end of one year he will have saved 59 times 26, or $1,534 which is $34 over his goal.

    Equation: 59 x 26 = a or 1534 = a, where a represents Hakeem's total amount saved.

    Model:

    59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59 59

    59 59 59

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This word problem can be solved in multiple ways as the question indicates, asking for words, and equation and a model. Using the key words and phrases from the problem, we can see that Hakeem put $59 from each paycheck into saving and he gets paid every two weeks or 26 times. Because of the words 'each' and 'times', I know that I will have to multiply 59 x 26 to get the total amount that Hakeem will save for the year: 26 x 59 = $1,534.

    Using words, we can write out the steps to solving the problem.

    Using an equation, we can solve for a variable.

    Using a model, we can set up the number paychecks received over the course of a year.
