Jamal want to but a Sony Playstation 2 with accessories. The entire package costs $234.10. Jamal has already saved $39
Every Saturday night Jamal's Aunt Eunice comes over for dinner. Aunt Eunice has no children and is always interested in what Jamal is doing. He told her about the Playstation and she made him a deal. Since she believes thats saving money for the things you want is a virtue, she will match every dollar Jamal saves 3 to 1 beginning at that moment. She will not match the $39 he has already saved. When Jamal has saved all of the money he needs, Aunt Eunice will take him, after Saturday night dinner, to but Playstation.
Jamal figures that he can save $4 per week. The Saturday that Aunt Eunice came for dinner was april 1st. When can Jamal but his Playstation?
