Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Week Balance in Dollars

1 76

2 92

3 108

4 124

Finding the change in between each amount per week

92 - 76 = 16

108 - 92 = 16

...

This means she deposited $16 each week

This means that her initial deposit can be calculated by subtracting 16 from her balance in first week

76 - 16 = 60

This means initial deposit in her account was:$60

Hence, Correct option is:

A. $60

Find the change inbetween each amount per week


92 - 76 = 16

108 - 92 = 16


etc.


This means that her initial deposit should be subtracting 16 from her first deposit.


76 is the amount first deposited


76 - 16 = 60


A) $60 should be your answer


hope this helps
