Algebra: Christie's birthday is in 18 weeks. She has no money now, but plans to start saving money immediately from her part time job because the car she wants to buy costs $2086. Each week she will set aside the same amount of money. Fortunately, her dad agreed to help her with part of the down payment. The car dealer has guaranteed her a 30 week payment plan which allows her to drive the car away on her birthday if she has paid $1582 by the time of her birthday. She will continue to pay the same set amount weekly for the remaining 12 weeks, at which time the car will be paid off. How much does Christie need from her father? How much must she start saving each week?
