This is similar to an ARMT style open ended question. I know you might not be able to show your work like you would on paper, so try to explain in words what you would do. Then, answer in a complete sentence. Good luck!

Janet needs 225 more dollars and if she wants to save this for five weeks in equal amounts she would save 45 dollars a week.

Clay,
You are exactly right! Great job. You remembered that you need to do 2 steps. You have to subtract first, then divide. Well done!
