Question

Which equation could be used for the situation below?

Jenna earns $8 each week by completing chores. She already has $12 in her savings. How much will she have after 4 weeks?


y = 8x + 4


y = 8x


y = 8x + 12

Answer 1

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Per week earning = $8

Amount in savings = $12

y = Total amount

x = Number of weeks

y = 8x + 12

Where we can put x=4 to calculate earning of 4 weeks.

y = 8(4) + 12

y = 32 + 12 = $44

Therefore,

Option C is the correct answer.
