b) $450
c) $525
d) $600

Answer 1

Joe will have saved $375 after 20 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Joe will have saved after 20 weeks, we can use the formula:

Total Savings = Initial Savings + (Weekly Savings x Number of Weeks)

Joe begins with $75 and saves $15 per week for 20 weeks:

Total Savings = $75 + ($15 x 20) = $375

Therefore, Joe will have saved $375 after 20 weeks.
