Answer:

B. She was given $60 for her birthday.

Explanation:

The equation that models this situation is:


y=75x+60

where y is the amount of money in the account and x is the number of deposits.

Here 60 is constant and 75x is variable with respect to x or number of deposits.

Means she was given $60 for her birthday. And deposits the same amount $75 each month.

So, option B is correct.
