Melinda earned $550 in one month and saved 30% of her earnings. She is saving for a new bicycle which costs $825. How much has Melinda saved so far? At this rate, how long will it take her to save enough money to buy the bicycle?

$165, 5 months total, 4 more months

Step-by-step explanation:

First find 30% of 550 by converting 30% into a decimal to get 0.30. Then multiply 550 by 0.3 to get 165 as her savings each month. To find how ling she has to save, divide 825/165 to get 5 month. She must save for 5 month total or 4 more months to get the bike

the answer is 13

step-by-step explanation:

5*5=25

12*12=144

25+144=169

169^2=13
