Casey is going to stay at a motel while she works her summer job as a ski instructor. The hotel charges $280/week or $1000/month. If Casey will be staying 3 months, each with exactly 4 weeks, how much money does she save by paying monthly?
How many weeks will Casey stay? ** First find the number of weeks Casey stays: 3 months * 4 weeks/month = <<3*4=12>>12 weeks
How much would Casey pay in total? ** Then multiply that number by the weekly rate to find how much she would pay weekly: 12 weeks * $280/week = $<<12*280=3360>>3360
How much does Casey pay in total? ** Then multiply the number of months she stays by the monthly rate to find how much she pays monthly: $1000/month * 3 months = $<<1000*3=3000>>3000
How much does Casey save by paying monthly? ** Then subtract that number from the total amount she pays if she pays weekly to find her savings: $3360 - $3000 = $<<3360-3000=360>>360
