Question

Mrs. Jacobson asked her students to write a word problem that describes the graph below.

Which word problem accurately describes the graph?

A. Jamie has $8, and she pays $2 per day to ride the bus.
B. Melinda has $4 and earns $2 allowance per day doing chores.
C. Carrina has $8, and she earns $2 per day babysitting.
D. Louise has $4, and she pays $2 per day for school lunch.

Answer 1

of the options given, it's A) Jamie has $8, and she pays $2 per day to ride the bus.

Answer 2

The answer for the exercise shown above is the first option (Option A), which is: A. Jamie has $8, and she pays $2 per day to ride the bus.
The explanation is shown below:
If you write the values given in the graph in a table, you can notice that the money decreases on each day. This means that the person does not earn money, but pays. On day zero (0), the person has $8 and then that person pays $2 per day. Therefore, the option A is the answer.
