15 POINTS FOR YOUR TIME!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Dara needs $180 to pay for a new bicycle. She has $30 already and saves $25 a week that she earns pet sitting.

Use the Segment tool to plot a graph representing the amount of money Dara has saved from the time she begins saving until she has saved enough for the bike.

Total money needed to buy a new bicycle = $180 .

Money she has already = $30.

Saving of each month = $ 25.

Let us make a table for total earning for different number of months.

________________________________________

Number of months Total saving

_________________________________________

0 $30.

1 30+25 = $55

2 30+2*25 = 30+50= $80

3 30+ 3*25 = 30+75 = $105

__________________________________________

Let us plot points on the graph using those values in the table.

We would take number of months by x-axis (horizontal axis) and Total saving by y-axis( vertical axis).

From the graph, we can clearly see that for 6 months the total amount would be $180.

Therefore, Dara need 6 weeks to save the $180 for new bicycle.
