To represent the relationship between the weeks since Mitch's birthday and how much money he has left, we can create a table, a graph, and an equation.
Table:
Weeks since Mitch's Birthday | Money Mitch has Left
0 | $200
1 | $185
2 | $170
3 | $155
4 | $140
5 | $125
6 | $110
7 | $95
8 | $80
9 | $65
10 | $50
11 | $35
12 | $20
13 | $5
14 | $0

Let's assume "w" represents the number of weeks since Mitch's birthday, and "M" represents the amount of money he has left.
We can use the equation:
M = 200 - 15w
This equation states that the amount of money Mitch has left (M) is equal to the initial amount of money he received ($200) minus the weekly spending on comic books ($15) multiplied by the number of weeks since his birthday (w).
Using this equation, we can calculate how much money Mitch will have left after any given number of weeks.
