Answer:

s = 45w

Explanation:

Jeremiah is saving money for a tutoring job.

He saved $135 after 3 weeks.

Therefore, his saving per week =
\frac{\text{Total amount}}{\text{Number of weeks}}

=
(135)/(3)

= $45

If he works for w weeks then at the same rate total amount saved by him will be

= $45w

If this amount is equal to $s then equation that represents the total saving after w weeks will be

s = 45w
