Step 1: Understand the original plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Drake plans to save $125 per week<\/strong> for 4 weeks. So, Drake’s original plan was to save $500 in 4 weeks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In week 3<\/strong>, Drake had to take out some money<\/strong> from his savings. So, he actually saved:500\u221215=485500 – 15 = 485500\u221215=485<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means he still managed to save $485<\/strong> despite withdrawing money in week 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This tells us that the withdrawal in week 3 was $15<\/strong>, since he saved exactly $485 instead of $500. This is a key insight \u2014 the only deviation from the plan is the $15 taken out in week 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the question mentions \u201cOption A\u201d and \u201cOption B,\u201d it does not include details<\/strong> about what A and B are. So we must assume<\/strong> that the options are strategies to make up the $15 loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If an option includes Drake saving an extra $15 in any of the weeks<\/strong>, then that would restore him to the original plan of $500. Without the actual descriptions of options A and B, we can’t determine which is true.<\/strong> So assuming you’re given options A and B separately, the correct answer is the one where he saves an extra $15<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Drake wants to save125 each week. Unfortunately, Drake had to take out a little money from his savings in the 3rd week. After 4 weeks, Drake has15 from his original plan. Which of the following is a true statement? a. Only option A will allow him to meet his goal. b. Only option B will […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-227069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exams-certification"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227069\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
So, the total amount he should have after 4 weeks is:125\u00d74=500125 \\times 4 = 500125\u00d74=500<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nStep 2: Account for the setback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
As a result, after 4 weeks<\/strong>, he is $15 short<\/strong> of his original plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nStep 3: Analyze the implication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nStep 4: Consider the answer choices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
So:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nFinal Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
However, if provided<\/strong>, the correct choice would be the one(s) where Drake makes up the $15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner8-56.jpeg\")
