i want a Canon ZR 500, but i know for a fact my parents wont get it for me. its between 200 and 300 dollars.
i want 350 dollars to make sure i have the money.
if i give $5 out of every 13$ allowance that i get every 2 weeks, how long would it take me to get $350 if i dont use any other money?
like i said i suck at math, and im going into 8th grade. please help. i need a business plan for my parents so i can get it.

That would indeed take 140 weeks. If you saved 6$ a fortnight instead you could get it in 116 weeks. Even if you save up all of your current allowance it would take a whole year.
So you should ask for more allowance.

well, if I understand your explanation....you will need 350 divided by 5...that is 70 allowances...that would be 140 wks....divide by 52...and you get a little less than 3 years...by which time the Canon ZR "800" will probably be out...
why not just ask your parents/ a relative for a birthday/Christmas present....and be happy with ANY thing that you get.....

To get $350 with $5 every second week...
(350/5)*2=140 weeks...sorry to say

you wii need to save that money for 140 weeks( 2 years 9months) to get it up to 350. i don't think this is what u want to do.

well i think you would model the equation
350 = 13x-(5x/2)
700 = 26x-5x
x= 700/21` 33.3 weeks => 34 weeks
