Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Sarah saves $8 per week.

The rate of change in this situation describes how much money Sarah saves each week, which is $8.

The solution to this equation is that Sarah saves $8 per week. This can be found by substituting "w" with the number of weeks since she started saving and solving for S.
