Which additional information is needed to solve this problem? john wants to buy a new game for his computer. he can save $12 a week if he mows his neighbor's lawn and $10 a week if he babysits his nephew. how many weeks will it take john to save enough money to buy the computer game? a. total amount john can save in 1 week b. the cost of the game c. amount john earns per hour babysitting

Hi there!

The answer is B.
the cost of the game.

We need to know the cost of the game in order to find out how many weeks John has to save money. If we don't know this price, we'll never know whether John has saved enough money.

We can find out the total amount of money John can save in 1 week (so A. is not the answer). The amount of money John earns per hour doesn't matter to answer the question (so C. is wrong).

~ Hope this helps you!

The answer is B he won't know how much to save if he does not know the cost of the game
