Question

Imani opened a savings account with $100 . She saves $50 per month . Which of the following equations can be used to find how much money she has in her account after x months ? A . 100 + 50x = y B . 50 + 100x = y C . 600 + 50 x = y

Answer 1

From the information given, the initial amountin Imani's account is 100. Next, she saves 50 per month. When the number of months is represented by x, then each month her savings would be 50 times x. That is, for instance after 5 months she would have saved 50 times 6. The initial amount of 100 would remain there in the equation.

Therefore, the equation that would be used to find out how much she has after x months would be;

`\begin{gathered} \text{Amount}=100+(50\cdot x) \\ \text{Amount}=100+50x \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

`100+50x=y`

The correct answer is option A
